A critical process controlled by MalT and OmpR is revealed through synthetic lethality.

چکیده
The death of cells harboring defects in two distinct pathways implicates these pathways in the control of an essential process. Here we report that cells lacking OmpR and harboring constitutively active MalT undergo premature death that involves increased expression of the outer membrane porin LamB.

Exposure to Glycolytic Carbon Sources Reveals a Novel Layer of Regulation for the MalT Regulon
Bacteria adapt to changing environments by means of tightly coordinated regulatory circuits. The use of synthetic lethality, a genetic phenomenon in which the combination of two nonlethal mutations causes cell death, facilitates identification and study of such circuitry. In this study, we show that the E. coli ompR malT(con) double mutant exhibits a synthetic lethal phenotype that is environme...

Malting is one of the biotechnological processes that includes steeping, germination and killing of cereal. This process is performed in controlled environment in which hydrolytic enzymes are synthesized and cell wall, protein and starch of endosperm are largely digested. In this study the malting quality was evaluated in order to select the best line for malt production. The effects of malting...
متن کاملActivation of the osmoregulated ompC gene by the OmpR protein in Escherichia coli: a study involving synthetic OmpR-binding sequences.
Expression of the Escherichia coli outer membrane proteins, OmpC and OmpF, is regulated in response to the medium osmolarity. The OmpR and EnvZ proteins are transcriptional factors involved in this osmotic regulation of the ompC and ompF genes. In particular, expression of the ompC gene is activated by the positive regulator, OmpR, in response to high osmolarity of the medium. In this study, we...
متن کاملProcess Writing and Enhancement of Critical Thinking Ability: Is Writing a Vehicle or an Ingredient of Critical Thinking?
The study aimed to investigate the relationship between process writing (PW) and critical thinking (CT) ability of Iranian EFL learners. Furthermore, the role of PW in the enhancement of CT was investigated. In so doing, 125 upper-intermediate language learners were selected from Islamic Azad University based on convenience sampling. The results of pretest administration indicated that particip...
متن کاملThe critical role of DNA in the equilibrium between OmpR and phosphorylated OmpR mediated by EnvZ in Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli modulates its porin expression through a histidine kinase, EnvZ, and its cognate response regulator, OmpR. EnvZ is a bifunctional enzyme that possesses both OmpR kinase and phosphorylated OmpR (OmpR-P) phosphatase activities and thus controls the cellular level of OmpR-P. In an in vitro-assay system, the addition of OmpR to the reaction mixture consisting of the cytoplasmic dom...
