GUEST COMMENTARIES Universal Stress Proteins in Escherichia coli
Multiple members of the UspA family of proteins are found in the genomes of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and plants, but the biological and biochemical functions of these proteins are not known. In this issue of Journal of Bacteriology, Nachin et al. (6) describe a functional genomics approach to determining the cellular function(s) of the UspA family of proteins. A complex array of phen...
متن کاملDifferential roles of the universal stress proteins of Escherichia coli in oxidative stress resistance, adhesion, and motility.
The universal stress protein (UspA) superfamily encompasses a conserved group of proteins that are found in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Escherichia coli harbors six usp genes--uspA, -C, -D, -E, -F, and -G--the expression of which is triggered by a large variety of environmental insults. The uspA gene is important for survival during cellular growth arrest, but the exact physiological rol...

متن کاملEnterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection induces tight junction proteins expression in mice
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) causes diarrhea in travelers, young children and piglets, but the precise pathogenesis of ETEC induced diarrhea is not fully known. Recent investigations have shown that tight junction (TJ) proteins and aquaporin 3 (AQP 3) are contributing factors in bacterial diarrhea. In this study, using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry analyses, we found that E...
متن کاملFunctional Characterization of Selected Universal Stress Protein from Salvia miltiorrhiza (SmUSP) in Escherichia coli
The multigene universal stress protein (USP) family is evolutionarily conserved. Members play indispensable roles in plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. Although relatively well-characterized in model plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryzasativa, this family has not been investigated in Salvia miltiorrhiza, an important herbal plant for which yields can be limited by various abiotic st...
