Functional interplay between PPM1G and the transcription elongation machinery.
Transcription elongation is a critical regulatory step in the gene expression cycle. One key regulator of the switch between transcription initiation and elongation is the P-TEFb kinase, which phosphorylates RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and several negative elongation factors to relieve the elongation block at paused promoters to facilitate productive elongation. Here, we highlight recent finding...
متن کاملComplex Interplay between the P-Glycoprotein Multidrug Efflux Pump and the Membrane: Its Role in Modulating Protein Function
Multidrug resistance in cancer is linked to expression of the P-glycoprotein multidrug transporter (Pgp, ABCB1), which exports many structurally diverse compounds from cells. Substrates first partition into the bilayer and then interact with a large flexible binding pocket within the transporter's transmembrane regions. Pgp has been described as a hydrophobic vacuum cleaner or an outwardly dire...
متن کاملEffect of Mutation in Efflux Pump Regulatory Protein (MexR) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: A Bioinformatic Study
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important non-fermenting gram-negative hospital-acquired pathogen. Treatment of P. aeruginosa infections has become more challenging due to overexpression of efflux pumps. The aim of the present study was to apply in silico analysis to evaluate the structure of the effl...
متن کاملEvaluation of Efflux pump activity among Uropathogenic Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia multiple- Drug Resistance isolates
Antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon in which antibiotic used to treat bacteria becomes useless due to resistance mechanism. Increased drug resistance and occurrence of Multiple Drug Resistance in bacteria specificity nosocomial and Urinary Tract Infection bacteria has reduced the possibilities of treating these infectious diseases. Efflux pumps are one of the major mechanism of MDR in bacteri...
متن کاملDetection of Efflux Pump Using Ethidium Bromide-Agar Cartwheel Method in Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates
Introduction: In the past decade, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has become one of the most critical challenges in treating infected patients. The AdeABC efflux pump is the most important among the various resistance mechanisms. This pump can force various antibiotics and ethidium bromide out of the bacterial cell to the surrounding environment. Methods: In this study, nine A. baum...
