Induced mRNA stability in Bacillus subtilis.
We have investigated the induced stability of mRNA encoded by the ermC gene in Bacillus subtilis. Induction of ermC gene expression by erythromycin is known to occur at the translational level. We show that this induction is accompanied by an increase in ermC mRNA half-life from about 2 min to about 40 min. Induced stabilization of ermC mRNA occurs independently of induced translation. The regu...
متن کاملMechanism of decay of the cry1Aa mRNA in Bacillus subtilis.
We undertook the study of the decay process of the cry1Aa mRNA of Bacillus thuringiensis expressed in B. subtilis. The cry1Aa transcript is a 3.7-kb mRNA expressed during sporulation whose transcriptional control has previously been studied in both B. subtilis and B. thuringiensis. We found that the cry1Aa mRNA has a half-life of around 9 min and that its decay occurs through endoribonucleolyti...
متن کاملMechanism of DNA degradation induced by neocarzinostatin in Bacillus subtilis.
When logarithmically growing Bacillus subtilis cells were exposed to the antitumor protein, neocarzinostatin (NCS), at a concentration of 50 mug/ml, cellular DNA was gradually degraded into an acid-soluble form (up to 60 percent of total DNA). The degradation appeared to initiate at the growing regions of DNA and to proceed sequentially from the nascent regions to preexistent DNA. Concomitantly...
متن کاملDemonstration of erythromycin-dependent stalling of ribosomes on the ermC leader transcript.
ermC encodes a methylase that modifies 23 S rRNA, conferring resistance to macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B antibiotics. The expression of this gene is induced by erythromycin using a translational mechanism. We have employed the inherent RNase activity of a Bacillus subtilis S-30 extract as a probe for studying the interaction of ribosomes with ermC mRNA in the presence of antibiotics. 5'...
متن کاملTetracycline induces stabilization of mRNA in Bacillus subtilis.
The tet(L) gene of Bacillus subtilis confers low-level tetracycline (Tc) resistance. Previous work examining the >20-fold-inducible expression of tet(L) by Tc demonstrated a 12-fold translational induction. Here we show that the other component of tet(L) induction is at the level of mRNA stabilization. Addition of a subinhibitory concentration of Tc results in a two- to threefold increase in te...
