Protein translocation across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.
About 25% to 30% of the bacterial proteins function in the cell envelope or outside of the cell. These proteins are synthesized in the cytosol, and the vast majority is recognized as a ribosome-bound nascent chain by the signal recognition particle (SRP) or by the secretion-dedicated chaperone SecB. Subsequently, they are targeted to the Sec translocase in the cytoplasmic membrane, a multimeric...
متن کاملMechanisms of active transport in isolated bacterial membrane vesicles. Further studies on amino acid transport in Staphylococcus aureus membrane vesicles.
Active amino acid transport in Stajhylococcus aureus U-71 membrane vesicles is coupled to either cy-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase or L-lactate dehydrogenase depending upon the growth conditions of the parent cells. Vesicles prepared from cells grown on gluconate as a primary carbon source exhibit an absolute specificity for a-glycerol phosphate as a physiological electron donor for transport...
متن کاملQuinolone susceptibility of norA-disrupted Staphylococcus aureus.
The MIC of norfloxacin for the norA-disrupted mutant termed RDN1, obtained from quinolone-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus RN4220, was eightfold lower than that for RN4220. The increase in susceptibility was related to an increase of drug accumulation by RDN1. These results indicate that NorA plays an important role in the susceptibility of quinolone-susceptible S. aureus to selected quinolones.
متن کاملQuinolone resistance mutations in the GrlB protein of Staphylococcus aureus.
Two altered GrlB proteins (one with an Asp-432-->Asn alteration and one with an Asn-470-->Asp alteration) of Staphylococcus aureus were purified as fusion proteins to maltose-binding protein. The 50% inhibitory concentrations of levofloxacin were 14 and 3.4 microg/ml against topoisomerase IV containing GrlB proteins with alterations at positions 432 and 470, respectively. These results suggest ...
متن کاملQuantitative association between electrical potential across the cytoplasmic membrane and early gentamicin uptake and killing in Staphylococcus aureus.
The relationship between the magnitude of the transmembrane electrical potential and the uptake of [14C]gentamicin was examined in wild-type Staphylococcus aureus in the logarithmic phase of growth. The electrical potential (delta psi) and the pH gradient across the cell membrane were determined by measuring the equilibrium distribution of [3H]tetraphenyl-phosphonium and [14C]acetylsalicylic ac...
