Functional motifs in Escherichia coli NC101
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria can damage DNA of the gut lining cells and may encourage the development of colon cancer according to recent reports. Genetic switches are specific sequence motifs and many of them are drug targets. It is interesting to know motifs and their location in sequences. At the present study, Gibbs sampler algorithm was used in order to predict and find functional m...
متن کاملInteractions between phage-shock proteins in Escherichia coli.
Expression of the pspABCDE operon of Escherichia coli is induced upon infection by filamentous phage and by many other stress conditions, including defects in protein export. Expression of the operon requires the alternative sigma factor sigma54 and the transcriptional activator PspF. In addition, PspA plays a negative regulatory role, and the integral-membrane proteins PspB and PspC play a pos...
متن کاملCRISPR-Cas Functional Module Exchange in Escherichia coli
UNLABELLED Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (cas) genes constitute the CRISPR-Cas systems found in the Bacteria and Archaea domains. At least in some strains they provide an efficient barrier against transmissible genetic elements such as plasmids and viruses. Two CRISPR-Cas systems have been identified in Escherichia coli, pertaining to s...
متن کاملExchange of Genetic Material between Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia Coli K-12.
OSITIVE results in attempts to hybridize Salmonella strains with Escherichia Ipcoli K-12 were first reported by BARON and his colleagues (BARON, SPILMAN and CAREY 1959; BARON, CAREY and SPILMAN 1959), and we have also observed this phenomenon with a Salmonella typhimurium wild-type strain LT-7 carrying the mutator gene mut (MIYAKE and DEMEREC 1959; MIYAKE 1959, 1960). This paper supplies more d...
متن کاملFunctional genetic expression of eukaryotic DNA in Escherichia coli.
We have isolated a segment of DNA from the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) as a viable molecular hybrid of bacteriophage lambda DNA which, when integrated into the chromosome of an E. coli histidine auxotroph, allows this bacterium to grow in the absence of histidine. The nonrevertable, histidine auxotroph lacks the enzymatic activity of imidazole glycerol phosphate (IGP) deh...
