Genome-Wide Screening of Genes Required for Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Biosynthesis
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is synthesized and transferred to proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). GPI-anchored proteins are then transported from the ER to the plasma membrane through the Golgi apparatus. To date, at least 17 steps have been identified to be required for the GPI biosynthetic pathway. Here, we aimed to establish a comprehensive screening method to identify genes i...
متن کاملIn Silico Genome-Wide Screening for TnrA-Regulated Genes of Bacillus clausii
Bacillus clausii TnrA transcription factor is required for global nitrogen regulation. In order to obtain anoverview of gene regulation by TnrA in B. clausii KSMK16, the entire genome of B. clausii was screened forthe consensus sequence, 5’-TGTNAN7TNACA-3’ known as the TnrA box, and 13 transcription units werefound containing a putative TnrA box. The TnrA targets identified in...
متن کاملGenome-wide screening of genes required for swarming motility in Escherichia coli K-12.
Escherichia coli K-12 has the ability to migrate on semisolid media by means of swarming motility. A systematic and comprehensive collection of gene-disrupted E. coli K-12 mutants (the Keio collection) was used to identify the genes involved in the swarming motility of this bacterium. Of the 3,985 nonessential gene mutants, 294 were found to exhibit a strongly repressed-swarming phenotype. Furt...
متن کاملGenome-wide screening for trait conferring genes using DNA microarrays.
We report a DNA microarray-based method for genome-wide monitoring of competitively grown transformants to identify genes whose overexpression confers a specific cellular phenotype. Whereas transcriptional profiling identifies differentially expressed genes that are correlated with particular aspects of the cellular phenotype, this functional genomics approach determines genes that result in a ...
متن کاملGenes for glycosylphosphatidylinositol toxin biosynthesis in Plasmodium falciparum.
About 2.5 million people die of Plasmodium falciparum malaria every year. Fatalities are associated with systemic and organ-specific inflammation initiated by a parasite toxin. Recent studies show that glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) functions as the dominant parasite toxin in the context of infection. GPIs also serve as membrane anchors for several of the most important surface antigens of ...
