Imitation of Escherichia coli aspartate receptor signaling in engineered dimers of the cytoplasmic domain.
Transmembrane signaling by bacterial chemotaxis receptors appears to require a conformational change within a receptor dimer. Dimers were engineered of the cytoplasmic domain of the Escherichia coli aspartate receptor that stimulated the kinase CheA in vitro. The folding free energy of the leucine-zipper dimerization domain was harnessed to twist the dimer interface of the receptor, which marke...
متن کاملDisulfide cross-linking studies of the transmembrane regions of the aspartate sensory receptor of Escherichia coli.
The Escherichia coli aspartate receptor, a dimer of identical subunits, has two transmembrane regions (TM1, residues 7-30; TM2, residues 189-212) of 24 residues each. To study the relative placement and orientation of the regions, cysteine residues were introduced individually into the center of each: at positions 17, 18, and 19 in TM1; and at positions 198, 199, 200, and 201 in TM2. Based on t...
متن کاملExpression Cloning of Recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ Genes Encoding Cytoplasmic and Nuclear P-galactosidase Variants
Objective(s) Nonviral vector can be an attractive alternative to gene delivery in experimental study. In spite of some advantages in comparison with the viral vectors, there are still some limitations for efficiency of gene delivery in nonviral vectors. To determine the effective expression, the recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ genes were cloned into the different variants of pcDNA3.1 and the...
متن کاملHigh-level expression of tetanus toxin fragment C in Escherichia coli
Fragment C is the C-terminal domain of the heavy chain of tetanus toxin that can promote the immune response against the lethal dose of this toxin. Therefore, this portion can be considered as a candidate vaccine against tetanus infection, which occurs by Clostridium tetani. The present study aimed to compare the expression of tetanus toxin fragment C in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells...
متن کاملAspartate taxis mutants of the Escherichia coli tar chemoreceptor.
The Tar protein of Escherichia coli belongs to a family of methyl-accepting inner membrane proteins that mediate chemotactic responses to a variety of compounds. These transmembrane signalers monitor the chemical environment by means of specific ligand-binding sites arrayed on the periplasmic side of the membrane, and in turn control cytoplasmic signals that modulate the flagellar rotational ma...
