Novel Functions and Regulation of Cryptic Cellobiose Operons in Escherichia coli
Presence of cellobiose as a sole carbon source induces mutations in the chb and asc operons of Escherichia coli and allows it to grow on cellobiose. We previously engineered these two operons with synthetic constitutive promoters and achieved efficient cellobiose metabolism through adaptive evolution. In this study, we characterized two mutations observed in the efficient cellobiose metabolizin...
متن کاملCryptic genes for cellobiose utilization in natural isolates of Escherichia coli.
The ECOR collection of natural Escherichia coli isolates was screened to determine the proportion of strains that carried functional, cryptic and nonfunctional genes for utilization of the three beta-glucoside sugars, arbutin, salicin and cellobiose. None of the 71 natural isolates utilized any of the beta-glucosides. Each strain was subjected to selection for utilization of each of the sugars....
متن کاملDirected evolution of cellobiose utilization in Escherichia coli K12.
The cellobiose catabolic system of Escherichia coli K12 is being used to study the role of cryptic genes in evolution of new functions. Escherichia coli does not use beta-glucoside sugars; however, mutations in several loci can activate the cryptic bgl operon and permit growth on the beta-glucoside sugars arbutin and salicin. Such Bgl+ mutants do not use cellobiose, which is the most common bet...
متن کاملA fourth Escherichia coli gene system with the potential to evolve beta-glucoside utilization.
Escherichia coli K12 is being used to study the potential for adaptive evolution that is present in the genome of a single organism. Wild-type E. coli K12 do not utilize any of the beta-glucoside sugars arbutin, salicin or cellobiose. It has been shown that mutations at three cryptic loci allow utilization of these sugars. Mutations in the bgl operon allow inducible growth on arbutin and salici...
متن کاملDetection of fim, pap, sfa and afa Adhesin-Encoding Operons in Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections
ABSTRACT Background and objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infectious diseases caused by bacteria. The primary etiologic agent of UTIs is Escherichia coli. Uropathogenic E.coli (UPEC) strains have a number of specific virulence factors, which can worsen UTIs. This study was performed to...
