TrwB: an F(1)-ATPase-like molecular motor involved in DNA transport during bacterial conjugation.
The mechanism by which TrwB acts as a DNA transporter in bacterial conjugation is analyzed. Based on a parallelism between TrwB and F(1)-ATPase, TrwB would use the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to pump DNA through its central channel, in a manner similar to that used by F(1)-ATPase to produce a rotary movement of the central gamma-subunit.
متن کاملDiscrete modelling of bacterial conjugation dynamics
In bacterial populations, cells are able to cooperate in order to yield complex collective functionalities. Interest in population-level cellular behaviour is increasing, due to both our expanding knowledge of the underlying biological principles, and the growing range of possible applications for engineered microbial consortia. Researchers in the field of synthetic biology the application of e...
متن کاملComparative Genomics of the Conjugation Region of F-like Plasmids: Five Shades of F
The F plasmid is the foremost representative of a large group of conjugative plasmids, prevalent in Escherichia coli, and widely distributed among the Enterobacteriaceae. These plasmids are of clinical relevance, given their frequent association with virulence determinants, colicins, and antibiotic resistance genes. Originally defined by their sensitivity to certain male-specific phages, IncF p...
متن کاملEffect of Zn2+ on bacterial conjugation: increase in ability of F- cells to form mating pairs.
Incubation of F(-) cells at 37 C with 10(-3) M Zn(2+) before mating was found to increase the ability of F(-) cells to form mating pairs when mated. This increased pair-forming ability is persistent, at least for the duration of mating. The F(-) cells with increased pair-forming ability obtained by the 10(-3) M Zn(2+) treatment can form mating pairs efficiently with males from which F pili were...
متن کاملUbiquitin-like Protein Conjugation: Structures, Chemistry, and Mechanism
Ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubl's) are conjugated to target proteins or lipids to regulate their activity, stability, subcellular localization, or macromolecular interactions. Similar to ubiquitin, conjugation is achieved through a cascade of activities that are catalyzed by E1 activating enzymes, E2 conjugating enzymes, and E3 ligases. In this review, we will summarize structural and mechanistic ...
