Cell division inhibition in Salmonella typhimurium histidine-constitutive strains: an ftsI-like defect in the presence of wild-type penicillin-binding protein 3 levels.
Histidine-constitutive (Hisc) strains of Salmonella typhimurium undergo cell division inhibition in the presence of high concentrations of a metabolizable carbon source. Filaments formed by Hisc strains show constrictions and contain evenly spaced nucleoids, suggesting a defect in septum formation. Inhibitors of penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) induce a filamentation pattern identical to tha...
متن کاملAn Arabidopsis homolog of the bacterial cell division inhibitor SulA is involved in plastid division.
Plastids have evolved from an endosymbiosis between a cyanobacterial symbiont and a eukaryotic host cell. Their division is mediated both by proteins of the host cell and conserved bacterial division proteins. Here, we identified a new component of the plastid division machinery, Arabidopsis thaliana SulA. Disruption of its cyanobacterial homolog (SSulA) in Synechocystis and overexpression of a...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the SOS cell division inhibitor SulA and in complex with FtsZ.
SulA halts cell division in Escherichia coli by binding to the major component of the division machinery FtsZ. We have solved the crystal structure of SulA alone and in complex with FtsZ from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. SulA is expressed when the SOS response is induced. This is a mechanism to inhibit cell division and repair DNA in the event of DNA damage. FtsZ is a tubulin-like protein that forms...
متن کاملInternal promoters of the his operon in Salmonella typhimurium.
Two internal promoters in the his operon of Salmonella typhimurium have been precisely mapped genetically. The internal promoters are found in, or very close to, gene border regions in the his operon. The his operon was examined for the presence of additional internal promoters whose transcripts were sensitive to rho-mediated transcription termination and therefore had escaped detection. No new...
متن کاملHis-linked hydrogen sulfide locus in Salmonella typhimurium.
Investigation of strains of Salmonella typhimurium having extended his deletion mutations indicates that a genetic site (or sites) affecting H(2)S production is located in the region of the chromosome adjacent to the operator end of the his operon. This site is co-transducible with the his genes. Experimental data indicate that the site is also present on an F'his factor derived from S. typhimu...
