Thermoregulation of Shigella and Escherichia coli EIEC pathogenicity. A temperature-dependent structural transition of DNA modulates accessibility of virF promoter to transcriptional repressor H-NS.
The expression of plasmid-borne virF of Shigella encoding a transcriptional regulator of the AraC family, is required to initiate a cascade of events resulting in activation of several operons encoding invasion functions. H-NS, one of the main nucleoid-associated proteins, controls the temperature-dependent expression of the virulence genes by repressing the in vivo transcription of virF only b...
متن کاملThermoregulation of Escherichia coli pap transcription: H-NS is a temperature-dependent DNA methylation blocking factor.
The expression of Pap pili that facilitate the attachment of Escherichia coli to uroepithelial cells is shut off outside the host at temperatures below 26 degrees C. Ribonuclease protection analysis showed that this thermoregulatory response was rapid as evidenced by the absence of papBA transcripts, coding for Pap pilin, after only one generation of growth at 23 degrees C. The histone-like nuc...
متن کاملTime-resolved assembly of a nucleoprotein complex between Shigella flexneri virF promoter and its transcriptional repressor H-NS
The virF gene of Shigella, responsible for triggering the virulence cascade in this pathogenic bacterium, is transcriptionally repressed by the nucleoid-associated protein H-NS. The primary binding sites of H-NS within the promoter region of virF have been detected here by footprinting experiments in the presence of H-NS or its monomeric DNA-binding domain (H-NSctd), which displays the same spe...

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...
