Role of sigma E-regulated genes in Escherichia coli uropathogenesis.
The sigma E regulon encodes proteins for maintenance and repair of the Escherichia coli cell envelope. Previously, we observed that an antirepressor of sigma E, DegS, is essential for uropathogenic E. coli virulence. Here we use a mouse urinary tract infection model to assay the virulence of mutants of E. coli genes described as sigma E dependent. Deletion mutants of candidate genes were made i...
متن کاملGenetic evidence for parallel pathways of chaperone activity in the periplasm of Escherichia coli.
The periplasm of Escherichia coli contains many proteins proposed to have redundant functions in protein folding. Using depletion analysis, we directly demonstrated that null mutations in skp and surA, as well as in degP and surA, result in synthetic phenotypes, suggesting that Skp, SurA, and DegP are functionally redundant. The Deltaskp surA::kan combination has a bacteriostatic effect and lea...
متن کاملFactors Defining the Functional Oligomeric State of Escherichia coli DegP Protease
Escherichia coli DegP protein is a periplasmic protein that functions both as a protease and as a chaperone. In the absence of substrate, DegP oligomerizes as a hexameric cage but in its presence DegP reorganizes into 12 and 24-mer cages with large chambers that house the substrate for degradation or refolding. Here, we studied the factors that determine the oligomeric state adopted by DegP in ...
متن کاملThe inner cavity of Escherichia coli DegP protein is not essential for molecular chaperone and proteolytic activity.
The Escherichia coli DegP protein is an essential periplasmic protein for bacterial survival at high temperatures. DegP has the unusual property of working as a chaperone below 28 degrees C, but efficiently degrading unfolded proteins above 28 degrees C. Monomeric DegP contains a protease domain and two PDZ domains. It oligomerizes into a hexameric cage through the staggered association of trim...
متن کاملRemoval of nickel and total chromium using Escherichia coli biofilm supported on clinoptilolite
-Biofilm is communities of microorganisms attached to the surface and is able to concentrate metal species within their cell structure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to produce Escherichia coli biofilm on zeolite (clinoptilolite) and evaluate its ability for nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) adsorption from aqueous solutions. A laboratory-scale batch model was used for biodsorption assay. Th...
