Escherichia coli toxin/antitoxin pair MqsR/MqsA regulate toxin CspD.
Previously we identified that the Escherichia coli protein MqsR (YgiU) functions as a toxin and that it is involved in the regulation of motility by quorum sensing signal autoinducer-2 (AI-2). Furthermore, MqsR is directly associated with biofilm development and is linked to the development of persister cells. Here we show that MqsR and MqsA (YgiT) are a toxin/antitoxin (TA) pair, which, in sig...
متن کاملATP-Dependent Persister Formation in Escherichia coli
Persisters are dormant variants that form a subpopulation of cells tolerant to antibiotics. Persisters are largely responsible for the recalcitrance of chronic infections to therapy. In Escherichia coli, one widely accepted model of persister formation holds that stochastic accumulation of ppGpp causes activation of the Lon protease that degrades antitoxins; active toxins then inhibit translati...
متن کاملAutoinducer 2 controls biofilm formation in Escherichia coli through a novel motility quorum-sensing regulator (MqsR, B3022).
The cross-species bacterial communication signal autoinducer 2 (AI-2), produced by the purified enzymes Pfs (nucleosidase) and LuxS (terminal synthase) from S-adenosylhomocysteine, directly increased Escherichia coli biofilm mass 30-fold. Continuous-flow cells coupled with confocal microscopy corroborated these results by showing the addition of AI-2 significantly increased both biofilm mass an...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
A new type V toxin-antitoxin system where mRNA for toxin GhoT is cleaved by antitoxin GhoS
Toxin-antitoxin systems are found in nearly all bacterial chromosomes1, which attests to their importance in cell physiology. Toxin-antitoxin systems are classified as type I if the antitoxin RNA prevents the translation of toxin RNA, type II if the antitoxin protein binds and inhibits the toxin protein and type III if the antitoxin RNA binds and inhibits the protein toxin2. Also, a type IV des...
