Transforming DNA uptake gene orthologs do not mediate spontaneous plasmid transformation in Escherichia coli.
Spontaneous plasmid transformation of Escherichia coli occurs on nutrient-containing agar plates. E. coli has also been reported to use double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as a carbon source. The mechanism(s) of entry of exogenous dsDNA that allows plasmid establishment or the use of DNA as a nutrient remain(s) unknown. To further characterize plasmid transformation, we first documented the stimulation...
متن کاملSubcellular Distribution of Actively Partitioning F Plasmid during the Cell Division Cycle in E. coli
F plasmid is partitioned with fidelity to daughter cells during cell division cycle owing to two trans-acting genes, sopA and sopB, and a cis-acting site, sopC. We visualized the subcellular distribution of mini-F-plasmid molecules by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Mini-F-plasmid molecules having the sopABC segment were localized at midcell in newborn cells. Replicated plasmid molecules mi...
متن کاملMembrane-bound fractions of R6K plasmid DNA in Escherichia coli.
The intracellular location of plasmid DNA has been of interest in an effort to understand the maintenance of these molecules. We have employed a simple procedure which enables us to isolate from exponentially grown cells on sucrose gradients membrane-complexed forms of R6K plasmid DNA. Electron micrographs identified the complexing of membrane fractions to circular forms of R6K DNA. Biochemical...

متن کاملpH-triggered intracellular release from actively targeting polymer micelles.
Chemotherapy is widely applied to treat cancer patients but its application is limited due to the systemic toxicity and low efficacy. Nanocarrier system, which is capable of delivering their toxic cargos specifically into cancer cells and then greatly overcomes these disadvantages, has drawn a broad attention. Here we developed a drug-conjugated micelle for a better drug delivery in which folic...
