Mutant of Bacillus subtilis lacking exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity.
نویسنده
چکیده
A procedure for the isolation of exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase mutants, by using a plate assay method incorporating a fluorescent substrate, has been developed. A mutant lacking exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity has been isolated and shown to grow, divide, autolyze, and sporulate as well as the parental strain.

Catabolite repression in Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 is mediated by CcpA.
The chromosomal ccpA gene from Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 has been cloned and sequenced. It encodes the CcpA protein, a central catabolite regulator belonging to the LacI-GalR family of bacterial repressors, and shows 54% identity with CcpA proteins from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus megaterium. The L. casei ccpA gene was able to complement a B. subtilis ccpA mutant. An L. casei ccpA mutant ...
متن کاملGenes encoding xylan and beta-glucan hydrolysing enzymes in Bacillus subtilis: characterization, mapping and construction of strains deficient in lichenase, cellulase and xylanase.
The gene encoding extracellular xylanase (xynA) was amplified as a 770 bp DNA fragment from Bacillus subtilis 168 chromosomal DNA by PCR. The genes encoding endo-beta-1,4-glucanase (eglS) and endo-beta-1,3-1,4-glucanase (bglS) were isolated from a genomic library of B. subtilis 168. The sequences of xynA and eglS were identical to those of the xylanase and cellulase genes from B. subtilis PAP11...
متن کاملMuropeptide recycling in Bacillus subtilis:beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase NagZ operates by a unique Asp-His catalytic dyad mechanism
We identified a pathway in the Gram-positive bacterial model organism Bacillus subtilis that is destined for recovery of N-acetylglucosamine-N-acetylmuramic acid-peptides (muroepides) derived from the peptidoglycan of the cell wall. The pathway is encoded by a cluster of six genes of which the first three are orthologs of Escherichia coli genes involved in Nacetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) dissimila...
متن کاملCharacterization of Acp, a peptidoglycan hydrolase of Clostridium perfringens with N-acetylglucosaminidase activity that is implicated in cell separation and stress-induced autolysis.
This work reports the characterization of the first known peptidoglycan hydrolase (Acp) produced mainly during vegetative growth of Clostridium perfringens. Acp has a modular structure with three domains: a signal peptide domain, an N-terminal domain with repeated sequences, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. The purified recombinant catalytic domain of Acp displayed lytic activity on the cell ...
متن کاملMuropeptide rescue in Bacillus subtilis involves sequential hydrolysis by beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase.
We identified a pathway in Bacillus subtilis that is used for recovery of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)-N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) peptides (muropeptides) derived from the peptidoglycan of the cell wall. This pathway is encoded by a cluster of six genes, the first three of which are orthologs of Escherichia coli genes involved in N-acetylmuramic acid dissimilation and encode a MurNAc-6-phosph...
