Antisense expression at the ptsH-ptsI locus of Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Mud(Ap, lac) prophage has been shown to be inserted into the ptsH gene of E. coli. The insertion is likely to have generated an operon fusion revealing antisense transcription at this locus. This suggests that the ORF previously identified, overlapping with ptsH ORF in the opposite orientation, might be functional. A model of regulation for the ptsH-ptsI-crr operon transcription is presented which accounts for antisense transcription.

Cloning and expression of the Listeria monocytogenes scott A ptsH and ptsI genes, coding for HPr and enzyme I, respectively, of the phosphotransferase system.
The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) utilizes high-energy phosphate present in PEP to drive the uptake of several different carbohydrates in bacteria. In order to examine the role of the PTS in the physiology of Listeria monocytogenes, we identified the ptsH and ptsI genes encoding the HPr and enzyme I proteins, respectively, of the PTS. Nucleotide sequence an...

A digoxigenin-labeled DNA probe that was complementary to the gene ptsH and the beginning of the gene ptsI was used to clone a 3.2-kb HincII-BamHI restriction fragment containing the complete ptsI gene of Staphylococcus carnosus. The restriction fragment was cloned in the antisense orientation to the lac promoter in the low-copy-number vector pSU18. The nucleotide sequences of the ptsI gene, wh...
متن کاملEffects of ackA, pta and poxB inhibition by antisense RNA on acetate excretion and recombinant beta interferon expression in Escherichia coli
Introduction: Escherichia coli (E.coli) is one of the most widely used hosts for the production of recombinant proteins. The main problem in getting high product yields and productivity is the accumulation of acetic acid (acetate) as an unwanted metabolic by-product. In this study, an antisense-based strategy as a metabolic engineering approach was employed to hamper the acetate excretion probl...
متن کاملGlucose Transporter Mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 with Changes in Substrate Recognition of IICB and Induction Behavior of the ptsG Gene
In Escherichia coli K-12, the major glucose transporter with a central role in carbon catabolite repression and in inducer exclusion is the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent glucose:phosphotransferase system (PTS). Its membrane-bound subunit, IICB, is encoded by the gene ptsG; its soluble domain, IIA, is encoded by crr, which is a member of the pts operon. The system is inducible by D-glucose and, ...

The Lactococcus lactis ptsH and ptsI genes, encoding the general proteins of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system, HPr and enzyme I, respectively, were cloned, and the regulatory role of HPr was studied by mutational analysis of its gene. A promoter sequence was identified upstream of the ptsHI operon, and the transcription start site was mapped by primer extension. The r...
