Ectoine biosynthesis in Mycobacterium smegmatis.
Mycobacterium smegmatis is a commonly used mycobacterial model system. Here, we show that M. smegmatis protects itself against elevated salinity by synthesizing ectoine and hydroxyectoine and characterize the phenotype of a nonproducing mutant. This is the first analysis of M. smegmatis halotolerance and of the molecular mechanism that supports it.
متن کاملDefective mycolic acid biosynthesis in a mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis.
A mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis defective in mycolic acid biosynthesis was isolated following chemical mutagenesis. Fatty acids were extracted from the mutant and subjected to structural analysis by thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of both methyl and p-bromophenacyl ester derivatives. Thin-layer chromatography did not show the presence of any fatty...
متن کاملMutational analysis of a role for salicylic acid in iron metabolism of Mycobacterium smegmatis.
The role of salicylic acid in iron metabolism was examined in two wild-type strains (mc(2)155 and NCIMB 8548) and three mutant strains (mc(2)1292 [lacking exochelin], SM3 [lacking iron-dependent repressor protein IdeR] and S99 [a salicylate-requiring auxotroph derived in this study]) of Mycobacterium smegmatis. Synthesis of salicylate in SM3 was derepressed even in the presence of iron, as was ...
متن کاملSalicylic Acid biosynthesis and metabolism.
Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to regulate various aspects of growth and development; it also serves as a critical signal for activating disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plant species. This review surveys the mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis and metabolism of this critical plant hormone. While a complete biosynthetic route has yet to be established, stressed Arabi...
متن کاملMmpS4 promotes glycopeptidolipids biosynthesis and export in Mycobacterium smegmatis.
The MmpS family (mycobacterial membrane protein small) includes over 100 small membrane proteins specific to the genus Mycobacterium that have not yet been studied experimentally. The genes encoding MmpS proteins are often associated with mmpL genes, which are homologous to the RND (resistance nodulation cell division) genes of Gram-negative bacteria that encode proteins functioning as multidru...
