The regulation of diaminopimelate decarboxylase activity in Escherichia coli strain w.
Activity of diaminopimelate decarboxylase in Escherichia coli strain W, growing in an aerated fermenter, was only slightly (14%) repressed by 2 mM-lysine when approximately equimolar diaminopimelate was present in the medium. Lysine alone caused 78% repression. Diaminopimelate did not interfere with uptake of lysine by growing organisms. Organisms grown in medium containing diaminopimelate, wit...
متن کاملRepression of diaminopimelic acid decarboxylase in Escherichia coli: gene dosage effects and escape synthesis.
Gene dosage and escape synthesis experiments support the hypothesis that diaminopimelate decarboxylase repression by lysine involves a repressor molecule in a negative control system.
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of lysine auxotrophs of Staphylococcus aureus.
Lysine biosynthesis in Staphylococcus aureus has been studied by use of a series of lysine auxotrophs. The strains were isolated after chemical mutagenesis. The majority of these mutant strains were classified according to the enzymatic step found to be deficient. Specific enzyme assays as well as nutritional tests were used to group the organisms. The enzymes included were dihydrodipicolinate ...
متن کاملA functionally split pathway for lysine synthesis in Corynebacterium glutamicium.
Three different pathways of D,L-diaminopimelate and L-lysine synthesis are known in procaryotes. Determinations of the corresponding enzyme activities in Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus sphaericus verified the fact that in each of these bacteria only one of the possible pathways operates. However, in Corynebacterium glutamicum activities are present which allow in principle th...
متن کاملComparison of the construction of unmarked deletion mutations in Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv by allelic exchange.
Until recently, genetic analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, was hindered by a lack of methods for gene disruptions and allelic exchange. Several groups have described different methods for disrupting genes marked with antibiotic resistance determinants in the slow-growing organisms Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and M. tuberculosis. I...
