Biotin biosynthesis, transport and utilization in rhizobia.
Biotin, a B-group vitamin, performs an essential metabolic function in all organisms. Rhizobia are alpha-proteobacteria with the remarkable ability to form a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis in combination with a compatible legume host, a process in which the importance of biotin biosynthesis and/or transport has been demonstrated for some rhizobia-legume combinations. Rhizobia have also been used to ...
متن کاملVariablity of chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes.
Background : There are growing evidences for chromosomal radioadaptive response in human lymphocytes . Highly variable inter- and intra-individual responses have been reported. Some individuals are non-responders and even in some donors the frequency of chromatid aberrations induced by a challenge dose increases by pre-exposure to an adapting dose. It has been proposed that the lack of radioada...
متن کاملStretched cell cycle model for proliferating lymphocytes.
Stochastic variation in cell cycle time is a consistent feature of otherwise similar cells within a growing population. Classic studies concluded that the bulk of the variation occurs in the G1 phase, and many mathematical models assume a constant time for traversing the S/G2/M phases. By direct observation of transgenic fluorescent fusion proteins that report the onset of S phase, we establish...
متن کاملThe rôle of biotin in bicarbonate utilization by bacteria.
can convert oxalacetate to aspartate by transamination. The extreme labilit,y of oxalacetate may account for the fact that it is not as effective as aspartate in promoting growth on low biotin media. Pyruvate, succinate, fumarat.e, L-malate, and a-ketoglutarate did not support growth. The synthesis of oxalacetate by a number of heterotrophic organisms mvolves the condensation of pyruvate and CO...
متن کاملProtein phosphotransferase activities and cyclic nucleotide action in proliferating lymphocytes.
Cyclic nucleotide levels, protein phosphotransferase activities, and cyclic nucleotide-binding proteins have been determined and partially characterized in the mouse lymphosarcoma P1798. This system is used as a model to understand the function of these activities in a rapidly proliferating cell. Adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations are 5-fold higher in the lymphosarcoma cells th...
