Recognition sites for chemotactic repellents of Bacillus subtilis.
Repellents of Bacillus subtilis include many membrane-active compounds, such as uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, local anesthetics, chlorpromazine (a central nervous system depressant), and tetraphenylboron (a lipophilic anion). Normally, bacteria swim smoothly, and occasionally tumble, but addition of repellent causes all bacteria to tumble, then later resume original frequency of swim...
متن کاملSigma A recognition sites in the Bacillus subtilis genome.
A hidden Markov model of sigma(A) RNA polymerase cofactor recognition sites in Bacillus subtilis, containing either the common or the extended -10 motifs, has been constructed based on experimentally verified sigma(A) recognition sites. This work suggests that more information exists at the initiation site of transcription in both types of promoters than previously thought. When tested on the e...
متن کاملSequence specificity of illegitimate plasmid recombination in Bacillus subtilis: possible recognition sites for DNA topoisomerase I.
Previous work in our group indicated that structural plasmid instability in Bacillus subtilis is often caused by illegitimate recombination between non-repeated sequences, characterized by a relatively high AT content. Recently we developed a positive selection vector for analysis of plasmid recombination events in B. subtilis which enables measurement of recombination frequencies without inter...
متن کاملIdentification of autodigestion target sites in Bacillus subtilis neutral proteinase.
Autocatalytic degradation of purified Bacillus subtilis neutral proteinase was examined under various conditions. At elevated temperatures, under non-inhibitory conditions, mature protein was rapidly degraded, but no accumulation of specific breakdown products occurred. However, by incubating purified neutral proteinase on ice during extended periods of time, specific peptides accumulated. Thes...
متن کاملBacillus subtilis CodY operators contain overlapping CodY binding sites.
CodY is a global transcriptional regulator that is activated by branched-chain amino acids. A palindromic 15-bp sequence motif, AATTTTCNGAAAATT, is associated with CodY DNA binding. A gel mobility shift assay was used to examine the effect of pH on the binding of Bacillus subtilis CodY to the hutPp and ureAp(3) promoters. CodY at pH 6.0 has higher affinity for DNA, more enhanced activation by i...
