Small broad-host-range lacZ operon fusion vector with low background activity.
The use of gene fusion technologies for transcriptional analysis of gene expression, especially of those genes whose products are difficult to assay, has been well documented (12–15). Many narrow and broad-host-range plasmid-based systems are available for constructing such gene fusions (6,7, 14). To circumvent some of the inherent problems of plasmid-based systems, which have been discussed be...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase (lasB) regulatory region.
The enzyme elastase is an important virulence factor of the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Previous studies have shown that expression of the P. aeruginosa elastase gene (lasB) requires both an activator protein, LasR, and an N-acylhomoserine lactone compound termed Pseudomonas autoinducer (PAI). In this study, we analyzed the lasB promoter region to learn more about lasB ...
متن کاملImproved System for Construction and Analysis of Single-Copy -Galactosidase Operon Fusions in Yersinia enterocolitica
Yersinia enterocolitica is a cause of foodborne human gastroenteritis and a favored model organism for studying bacterial virulence (2). Y. enterocolitica virulence gene regulation is studied in many laboratories. This is especially true for the genes encoding the Ysc type III secretion system, which Y. enterocolitica shares in common with the other pathogenic Yersinia species, Y. pestis and Y....
متن کاملMulticopy integration of mini-Tn7 transposons into selected chromosomal sites of a Salmonella vaccine strain
Chromosomal integration of expression modules for transgenes is an important aspect for the development of novel Salmonella vectors. Mini-Tn7 transposons have been used for the insertion of one such module into the chromosomal site attTn7, present only once in most Gram-negative bacteria. However, integration of multiple mini-Tn7 copies might be suitable for expression of appropriate amounts of...
متن کاملRecombinant microorganisms as environmental biosensors: pollutants detection by Escherichia coli bearing fabA'::lux fusions.
A set of genetically engineered Escherichia coli strains was constructed, in which the promoter of the fabA gene is fused to Vibrio fischeri luxCDABE either in a multi-copy plasmid or as a single copy chromosomal integration. The fabA gene codes for beta-hydroxydecanoyl-ACP dehydrase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and is induced when fatty acid biosynthesis pathways ...
