Complex formation of MukB, MukE and MukF proteins involved in chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli.
mukF, mukE and mukB genes are essential for the process of chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli. We have studied protein-protein interactions among MukB, MukE and MukF proteins by co-immunoprecipitation and sucrose gradient sedimentation experiments, using mukFEB null cells harboring plasmids carrying the wild-type or mutant-type mukFEB operon. MukB forms a complex with MukF and MukE. An...
متن کاملThe MukF subunit of Escherichia coli condensin: architecture and functional relationship to kleisins.
The Escherichia coli MukB, MukE, and MukF proteins form a bacterial condensin (MukBEF) that contributes to chromosome management by compacting DNA. MukB is an ATPase and DNA-binding protein of the SMC superfamily; however, the structure and function of non-SMC components, such as MukF, have been less forthcoming. Here, we report the crystal structure of the N-terminal 287 amino acids of MukF at...
متن کاملCOG complexes form spatial landmarks for distinct SNARE complexes
Vesicular tethers and SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmalemide-sensitive fusion attachment protein receptors) are two key protein components of the intracellular membrane-trafficking machinery. The conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex has been implicated in the tethering of retrograde intra-Golgi vesicles. Here, using yeast two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation approaches, we show that three COG sub...
متن کاملABCA1 and amphipathic apolipoproteins form high-affinity molecular complexes required for cholesterol efflux.
Apolipoproteins, such as apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), can stimulate cholesterol efflux from cells expressing the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). The nature of the molecular interaction between these cholesterol acceptors and ABCA1 is controversial, and models suggesting a direct protein-protein interaction or indirect association have been proposed. To explore this issue, we perfor...
متن کاملStable U(IV) complexes form at high-affinity mineral surface sites.
Uranium (U) poses a significant contamination hazard to soils, sediments, and groundwater due to its extensive use for energy production. Despite advances in modeling the risks of this toxic and radioactive element, lack of information about the mechanisms controlling U transport hinders further improvements, particularly in reducing environments where U(IV) predominates. Here we establish that...
