Gene organization of the dnaA region of Wolbachia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dnaA region of Wolbachia, an intracellular bacterial parasite of insects, is unique. A glnA cognate was found upstream of the dnaA gene, while neither of the two open reading frames detected downstream of dnaA has any homologue in the database. This unusual gene arrangement may reflect requirements associated with the unique ecological niche this agent occupies.

PCR screening of the Wolbachia in some arthropods and nematodes in Khuzestan province
Wolbachia is an obligatory, intracellular α-proteobacterium which infect the reproductive and somatic tissues of some arthropod and nematode populations. Because there are not any available data on the presence of this bacterium in Iran, the present study was done to determine the presence of this bacterium among 30 species of arthropods and nematodes. After DNA extraction from samples, we scre...
متن کاملMapping of replication initiation site in Mycoplasma capricolum genome by two-dimensional gel-electrophoretic analysis.
The homolog of the dnaA gene, which has been reported to be present in the vicinity of the initiation site of replication in the genome of Mycoplasma capricolum (M.Miyata, L.Wang, and T.Fukumura, J. Bacteriol. 175: 655-660, 1993) was mapped precisely. A 9540-bp region containing the dnaA gene was cloned and the entire region was sequenced with the exception of a previously reported region of 25...
متن کاملWhere does bacterial replication start? Rules for predicting the oriC region.
Three methods, based on DNA asymmetry, the distribution of DnaA boxes and dnaA gene location, were applied to identify the putative replication origins in 120 chromosomes. The chromosomes were classified according to the agreement of these methods and the applicability of these methods was evaluated. DNA asymmetry is the most universal method of putative oriC identification in bacterial chromos...
متن کاملControl regions for chromosome replication are conserved with respect to sequence and location among Escherichia coli strains
In Escherichia coli, chromosome replication is initiated from oriC by the DnaA initiator protein associated with ATP. Three non-coding regions contribute to the activity of DnaA. The datA locus is instrumental in conversion of DnaA(ATP) to DnaA(ADP) (datA dependent DnaA(ATP) hydrolysis) whereas DnaA rejuvenation sequences 1 and 2 (DARS1 and DARS2) reactivate DnaA(ADP) to DnaA(ATP). The structur...
متن کاملIdentification of a putative chromosomal replication origin from Helicobacter pylori and its interaction with the initiator protein DnaA.
The key elements of the initiation of Helicobacter pylori chromosome replication, DnaA protein and putative oriC region, have been characterized. The gene arrangement in the H.pylori dnaA region differs from that found in many other eubacterial dnaA regions (rnpA-rmpH-dnaA-dnaN-recF-gyrB). Helicobacter pylori dnaA is flanked by two open reading frames with unknown function, while dnaN-gyrB and ...
