Differential effects and interactions of endogenous and horizontally acquired H-NS-like proteins in pathogenic Escherichia coli
The nucleoid-associated protein H-NS is important for gene regulation in Escherichia coli. We have studied H-NS interaction with StpA and an uncharacterized H-NS-like protein, Hfp, in the uropathogenic E. coli isolate 536 that expresses all three nucleoid-associated proteins. We found distinct interactions of the three proteins at the protein level, resulting in the formation of heteromers, as ...
متن کاملMvaT proteins in Pseudomonas spp.: a novel class of H-NS-like proteins.
The H-NS protein was isolated for the first time from Escherichia coli as a contaminant in RNA polymerase preparations (Jacquet et al., 1971). A few years later, on the basis of nucleotide sequence homology, H-NS proteins were identified by different groups in other enteric or related bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis, Serratia marcescens, Salmonella typhimurium and Erwinia chrysanthemi (Usser...
متن کاملDifferential protease-mediated turnover of H-NS and StpA revealed by a mutation altering protein stability and stationary-phase survival of Escherichia coli.
The Escherichia coli proteins H-NS is recognized as an important component among the major nucleoid-associated proteins. In studies of E. coli strains with defects in H-NS, we discovered a mutant that phenotypically restored stationary-phase viability (Rsv) of such strains. The Rsv phenotype was the result of a mutation that led to severalfold higher levels of the functionally and structurally ...
متن کاملRole of histone-like proteins H-NS and StpA in expression of virulence determinants of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
The histone-like protein H-NS is a global regulator in Escherichia coli that has been intensively studied in nonpathogenic strains. However, no comprehensive study on the role of H-NS and its paralogue, StpA, in gene expression in pathogenic E. coli has been carried out so far. Here, we monitored the global effects of H-NS and StpA in a uropathogenic E. coli isolate by using DNA arrays. Express...
متن کاملSynthesis and Expression of Modified bFGF Gene in Escherichia coli Cells
A new strategy for construction of synthetic gene encoding human basic fibroblast growth factor comprising DNA annealing-ligation and augmentation by polymerase chain reaction was introduced. The sequence of the gene and corresponding amino acid chain were modified in order to increase stability of the protein. First, 300 bp and 160 bp fragments of the gene were assembled from 18 oligonucleotid...
