Screening procedure for Escherichia coli mutants deficient in ribonuclease I.
نویسنده
چکیده
Strains of Escherichia coli that possess ribonucleic acid accumulated under relaxed growth conditions show a considerable increase in time before the onset of beta-galactosidase inducibility. This time dependency can be related to the presence or absence of ribonuclease I.

Mutants of Escherichia coli lacking endonuclease I, ribonuclease I, or ribonuclease II.
To isolate mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 lacking endonuclease I activity (end), a method has been developed which detects, by differential methyl green staining, undegraded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in colonies previously incubated in toluene. This procedure allows isolation of mutant strains in which DNA degradation is reduced. For half of these strains, this defect has been correlated wi...
متن کاملStudy of Mutations in the DNA gyrase gyrA Gene of Escherichia coli
Quinolones are a large and widely consumed class of synthetic drugs. Expanded-spectrum quinolones, like ciprofloxacin are highly effective against Gram-negative bacteria, especially Escherichia coli. In E. coli the major target for quinolones is DNA gyrase. This enzyme is composed of two subunits, GyrA and GyrB encoding by gyrA and gyrB, respectively. Mutations in either of these genes cause qu...

متن کاملExpression of tolC and organic solvent tolerance of Escherichia coli ciprofloxacin resistant mutants
AcrAB-TolC is a major efflux pump in Escherichia coli. It was reported that tolC is overexpressed and involves in improving the organic solvent tolerance level in Escherichia coli marR mutants that are resistant to several antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin. Low and intermediate levels resistance did not improve organic solvent tolerance. Thus, in this descriptive-experimental study it was deci...
متن کاملGenetic evidence for two protein domains and a potential new activity in bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase.
Intragenic complementation was detected within the bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase gene. Complementation was observed between specific amino (N)-terminal, temperature-sensitive (ts) mutator mutants and more carboxy (C)-terminal mutants lacking DNA polymerase polymerizing functions. Protein sequences surrounding N-terminal mutation sites are similar to sequences found in Escherichia coli ribonuc...
