Temperature-sensitive cell division mutants of Escherichia coli with thermolabile penicillin-binding proteins.
The thermostability of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of 31 temperature-sensitive cell division mutants of Escherichia coli has been examined. Two independent cell division mutants have been found that have highly thermolabile PBP3. Binding of [(14)C]benzylpenicillin to PBP3 (measured in envelopes prepared from cells grown at the permissive temperature) was about 30% of the normal level...
متن کاملLow-temperature conditional cell division mutants of Escherichia coli.
Fifteen low-temperature conditional division mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 was isolated. They grew normally at 39 degrees C but formed filaments at 30 degrees C. All exhibited a coordinated burst of cell division when the filaments were shifted to the permissive temperature (39 degrees C). None of the various agents that stimulate cell division in other mutant systems (salt, sucrose, ethanol...
متن کاملReconstruction of Escherichia coli mrcA (PBP 1a) mutants lacking multiple combinations of penicillin binding proteins.
Previously, we constructed a set of mutants from which eight penicillin binding protein (PBP) genes were deleted in 192 combinations from Escherichia coli (S. A. Denome, P. K. Elf, T. A. Henderson, D. E. Nelson, and K. D. Young, J. Bacteriol. 181:3981-3993, 1999). Although these mutants were constructed correctly as determined by restriction mapping and the absence of relevant protein products,...
متن کاملTemperature-Sensitive Mutants of Escherichia coli K-12
Crosses were carried out at 34 C and 42 C between eight pairs of isogenic strains of Escherichia coli K-12. The donor and recipient of each pair carried the same mutation for temperature-sensitive deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis; they differed only in the presence of F-lac in the donor and a spectinomycin-resistance marker in the recipient. A different temperature-sensitive mutation was p...
متن کاملTemperature-sensitive 6-aminopenicillanic acid-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli.
Wild-type Escherichia coli cells became spherical in the presence of low concentrations of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (APA). Higher concentrations of APA caused inhibition of cell division (filamentation) and lysis. Spontaneous temperature-sensitive APA-resistant mutants were isolated and characterized. These mutants also possessed increased resistance to mecillinam but not to benzylpenicillin, a...
