Membrane protein expression triggers chromosomal locus repositioning in bacteria.
It has long been hypothesized that subcellular positioning of chromosomal loci in bacteria may be influenced by gene function and expression state. Here we provide direct evidence that membrane protein expression affects the position of chromosomal loci in Escherichia coli. For two different membrane proteins, we observed a dramatic shift of their genetic loci toward the membrane upon induction...
متن کاملLocus-specific gene repositioning in prostate cancer
Genes occupy preferred spatial positions within interphase cell nuclei. However, positioning patterns are not an innate feature of a locus, and genes can alter their localization in response to physiological and pathological changes. Here we screen the radial positioning patterns of 40 genes in normal, hyperplasic, and malignant human prostate tissues. We find that the overall spatial organizat...
متن کاملRepositioning of Transmembrane α-Helices during Membrane Protein Folding
0022-2836/$ see front matter © 2010 E We have determined the optimal placement of individual transmembrane helices in the Pyrococcus horikoshii GltPh glutamate transporter homolog in the membrane. The results are in close agreement with theoretical predictions based on hydrophobicity, but do not, in general, match the known three-dimensional structure, suggesting that transmembrane helices can ...
متن کاملmazEF: a chromosomal toxin-antitoxin module that triggers programmed cell death in bacteria.
mazEF is a toxin-antitoxin module located on the Escherichia coli chromosome and that of some other bacteria, including pathogens. mazF specifies for a stable toxin, MazF, and mazE specifies for a labile antitoxin, MazE, that antagonizes MazF. MazF is a sequence-specific mRNA endoribonuclease that initiates a programmed cell death pathway in response to various stresses. The mazEF-mediated deat...
متن کاملRevolutionizing membrane protein overexpression in bacteria
The bacterium Escherichia coli is the most widely used expression host for overexpression trials of membrane proteins. Usually, different strains, culture conditions and expression regimes are screened for to identify the optimal overexpression strategy. However, yields are often not satisfactory, especially for eukaryotic membrane proteins. This has initiated a revolution of membrane protein o...
