Involvement of DNA gyrase in bacteriophage T7 growth.

چکیده
We have found that the burst size of bacteriophage T7 was decreased in two Escherichia coli temperature-sensitive gyrase mutants incubated at the restrictive temperature. This reduction in burst size indicates that gyrase may be required for T7 growth.

متن کاملThe involvement of mutation in the serine 83 of quinolone resistant determining regions of the GyrA Gene in resistance to ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli .
Appearance of bacteria resistant to antibacterial agents puts physicians in trouble and threatens the health of the world. The rapid development of bacterial resistance in Escherichia coli to ciprofloxacin makes difficult the treatment of infectious diseases. So, detection of the locations of possible mutations in gyrase A gene ( gyrA ) in these mutants is very important to determine the mech...

In order to study the periplasmic expression of human growth hormone (hGH) in Escherichia coli, the related cDNA was inserted in two expression plasmids carrying pelB signal peptide, one with lac bacterial promoter and the other with a bacteriophage T7-based promoter. The recombinant plasmids were moved to TG1 and BL21 strains of E. coli, respectively. To induce the expression systems, IPTG and...
متن کاملInadequate inhibition of host RNA polymerase restricts T7 bacteriophage growth on hosts overexpressing udk.
Overexpression of udk, an Escherichia coli gene encoding a uridine/cytidine kinase, interferes with T7 bacteriophage growth. We show here that inhibition of T7 phage growth by udk overexpression can be overcome by inhibition of host RNA polymerase. Overexpression of gene 2, whose product inhibits host RNA polymerase, restores T7 phage growth on hosts overexpressing udk. In addition, rifampicin,...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of the interaction between bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase and Escherichia coli thioredoxin.
Gene 5 protein of bacteriophage T7 is a nonprocessive DNA polymerase. During infection of Escherichia coli, T7 annexes the host protein thioredoxin for use as a processivity factor for T7 DNA polymerase. We describe here a genetic method to investigate the interaction between T7 gene 5 protein and E. coli thioredoxin. The strategy is to use thioredoxin mutants that are unable to support the gro...
