Citrate utilization by Escherichia coli: plasmid- and chromosome-encoded systems.
Citrate utilization plasmids have previously been identified in atypical Escherichia coli isolates. A different citrate-utilizing (Cit+) variant of E. coli K-12 arose as a consequence of two chromosomal mutations (B. G. Hall, J. Bacteriol. 151:269-273, 1982). The processes controlling the transport of citrate in both a Cit+ chromosomal mutant and a Cit+ plasmid system were studied. Both systems...
متن کاملA plasmid-encoded anion-translocating ATPase.
An anion-translocating ATPase has been identified as the product of the arsenical resistance operon of resistance plasmid R773. When expressed in Escherichia coli this ATP-driven oxyanion pump catalyzes extrusion of the oxyanions arsenite, antimonite and arsenate. Maintenance of a low intracellular concentration of oxyanion produces resistance to the toxic agents. The pump is composed of two po...
متن کاملpTAR-encoded proteins in plasmid partitioning.
Partition cassettes, essential for the segregational stability of low-copy-number bacterial plasmids, typically encode two autoregulated proteins and an adjacent cis-acting centromere analog to which one or perhaps both proteins bind. The diminutive partition region of pTAR of Agrobacterium spp. was reported to be exceptional, encoding only a single protein, ParA (D. R. Gallie and C. I. Kado, J...
متن کاملPlasmid-encoded mercuric reductase in Mycobacterium scrofulaceum.
A Chesapeake Bay water isolate of Mycobacterium scrofulaceum containing a 115-megadalton plasmid (pVT1) grew in the presence of 100 microM HgCl2 and converted soluble 203Hg2+ to volatile mercury at a rate of 50 pmol/10(8) cells per min. Cell extracts contained a soluble mercuric reductase whose activity was not dependent on exogenously supplied thiol compounds. The enzyme displayed nearly ident...
متن کاملA cluster of five genes specifying the aerobactin iron uptake system of plasmid ColV-K30.
The genetic determinants for the aerobactin iron uptake system of plasmid ColV-K30, cloned as recombinant plasmid pABN1, were mapped by insertional inactivation using Tn1000 (gamma delta). Sites of insertion resulting in loss of aerobactin biosynthesis spanned ca. 5.5 kilobase pairs of cloned ColV-K30 DNA contiguous with a 2-kilobase-pair region in which transposon insertion resulted in loss of...
