Thermal adaptation of mesophilic and thermophilic FtsZ assembly by modulation of the critical concentration
Cytokinesis is the last stage in the cell cycle. In prokaryotes, the protein FtsZ guides cell constriction by assembling into a contractile ring-shaped structure termed the Z-ring. Constriction of the Z-ring is driven by the GTPase activity of FtsZ that overcomes the energetic barrier between two protein conformations having different propensities to assemble into polymers. FtsZ is found in psy...
متن کاملThermal adaptation analyzed by comparison of protein sequences from mesophilic and extremely thermophilic Methanococcus species.
The genome sequence of the extremely thermophilic archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii provides a wealth of data on proteins from a thermophile. In this paper, sequences of 115 proteins from M. jannaschii are compared with their homologs from mesophilic Methanococcus species. Although the growth temperatures of the mesophiles are about 50 degrees C below that of M. jannaschii, their genomic G+C co...
متن کاملMesophilic cyanobacteria producing thermophilic restriction endonucleases.
When searching for the site-specific endonucleases in several strains of Phormidium we made the following observations. Among the 16 strains that originated from 15 species of Phormidium, 12 produced one or more restriction enzymes, of which two produced the highly thermophilic restriction endonucleases PtaI and PpaAII with their optimum activity at 65-80 degrees C, which is far above the letha...
متن کاملThe effect of various incubation temperatures on the ribonucleic acid production of a mesophilic and thermophilic bacterium.
This investigation constitutes a comparative study of the ribonucleic acid production during the course of growth at different temperatures of an obligate thermophile and a mesophile. A study of this nature aside from the quantitative data should provide information concerning the rate of ribonucleic acid production, the characteristic ribonucleic acid patterns obtained during the course of gro...
متن کاملThermal perturbation differential spectra of ribonucleic acids. I. Hydration effects.
A relatively important change in UV absorption is observed upon thermal perturbation of nucleotide solutions. Comparison of these thermal perturbation spectra of nucleic acid residues with solvent perturbation spectra of the same compounds suggests that this spectral change can most probably be attributed to temperature induced hydration change of the bases. This conclusion is confirmed by the ...
