Potassium glutamate as a transcriptional inhibitor during bacterial osmoregulation.
Potassium glutamate accumulates upon hyper-osmotic shock and serves as a temporary osmoprotectant. This salt leads to transcriptional activation of sets of genes that allow the cell to achieve long-term adaptation to high osmolarity. The current experiments show that potassium glutamate also acts as an inhibitor of bulk cellular transcription. It can do so independent of the involvement of macr...
متن کاملOsmoregulation in Cotton Fiber: Accumulation of Potassium and Malate during Growth.
Kinetics and osmoregulation of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fiber growth (primarily extension) have been studied. Growth is dependent on turgor pressure in the fiber. It is inhibited when a decrease in the water potential of the culture medium due to an addition of Carbowax 6000, equals the turgor pressure of the fiber. Potassium and malate accumulate in the fiber and reach peak levels when t...
متن کاملCentral Roles for Potassium and Sucrose in Guard-Cell Osmoregulation.
Osmoregulation in guard cells of intact, attached Vicia faba leaves grown under growth chamber and greenhouse conditions was studied over a daily light cycle of stomatal movements. Under both growth conditions guard cells had two distinct osmoregulatory phases. In the first (morning) phase, opening was correlated with K+ uptake and, to a lesser extent, sucrose accumulation. In the second (after...

متن کاملBetter conditions for mammalian in vitro splicing provided by acetate and glutamate as potassium counterions.
We demonstrate here that replacing potassium chloride (KCl) with potassium acetate (KAc) or potassium glutamate (KGlu) routinely enhances the yield of RNA intermediates and products obtained from in vitro splicing reactions performed in HeLa cell nuclear extract. This effect was reproducibly observed with multiple splicing substrates. The enhanced yields are at least partially due to stabilizat...
