Bacteriophage Crosstalk: Coordination of Prophage Induction by Trans-Acting Antirepressors
Many species of bacteria harbor multiple prophages in their genomes. Prophages often carry genes that confer a selective advantage to the bacterium, typically during host colonization. Prophages can convert to infectious viruses through a process known as induction, which is relevant to the spread of bacterial virulence genes. The paradigm of prophage induction, as set by the phage Lambda model...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of the cis-acting elements of the human CD155 gene core promoter.
The CD155 protein is the founding member of a new group of related molecules within the immunoglobulin superfamily sharing a V-C2-C2 domain structure and significant amino acid identity. We have recently isolated the promoter of the CD155 gene so that we may determine the transcription factors that regulate its expression and possibly gain insight into the cell biology of this gene. Here we rep...
متن کاملThe Streptococcus thermophilus autolytic phenotype results from a leaky prophage.
Streptococcus thermophilus autolytic strains are characterized by a typical bell-shaped growth curve when grown under appropriate conditions. The cellular mechanisms involved in the triggering of lysis and the bacteriolytic activities of these strains were investigated in this study. Lactose depletion and organic solvents (ethanol, methanol, and chloroform) were shown to trigger a premature and...
متن کاملVasopressin mRNA localization in nerve cells: characterization of cis-acting elements and trans-acting factors.
mRNA localization is a complex pathway. Besides mRNA sorting per se, this process includes aspects of regulated translation. It requires protein factors that interact with defined sequences (or sequence motifs) of the transcript, and the protein/RNA complexes are finally guided along the cytoskeleton to their ultimate destinations. The mRNA encoding the vasopressin (VP) precursor protein is loc...
متن کاملIdentification of cis-Acting Elements and Splicing Factors Involved in the Regulation of BIM Pre-mRNA Splicing
Aberrant changes in the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein, BCL-2-like 11 (BIM), can result in either impaired or excessive apoptosis, which can contribute to tumorigenesis and degenerative disorders, respectively. Altering BIM pre-mRNA splicing is an attractive approach to modulate apoptosis because BIM activity is partly determined by the alternative splicing of exons 3 or 4, whereby exo...
