Does phospholipase have a role in killing and sodium dodecyl sulfate lysis of T4 ghost-infected Escherichia coli?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activation of Escherichia coli phospholipase by T4 ghost attachment was shown not to have a significant role in the killing or in the increased sensitivity of the bacterial cells to lysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate.

Escherichia coli mutants permissive for T4 bacteriophage with deletion in e gene (phage lysozyme).
Escherichia coli mutants have been isolated that are permissive for the infection by T4 phage with deletion in the cistron for the phage lysozyme, the e gene. Some, but not all, of these mutants are simultaneously permissive for the infection by T4 phage defective in the t gene, the product of which has also been implicated in the release of progeny phages. Most of these mutants shared the foll...
متن کاملPurification and properties of a T4 bacteriophage factor that modifies valyl-tRNA synthetase of Escherichia coli.
After T4 bacteriophage infects Escherichia coli, a peptide tau, produced under the control of a phage gene, binds to the host valyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase (EC 6.1.1.9) and thereby changes several of its physicochemical properties. The interaction of tau with the host enzyme was investigated in vitro after extensively purifying the factor from T4-infected E. coli using a rapid puri...
متن کاملSynthesis and functioning of the colicin E1 lysis protein: comparison with the colicin A lysis protein.
The colicin E1 lysis protein, CelA, was identified as a 3-kDa protein in induced cells of Escherichia coli K-12 carrying pColE1 by pulse-chase labeling with either [35S]cysteine or [3H]lysine. This 3-kDa protein was acylated, as shown by [2-3H]glycerol labeling, and seemed to correspond to the mature CelA protein. The rate of modification and processing of CelA was different from that observed ...
متن کاملEffect of sequential treatments with sodium dodecyl sulfate and citric acid or hydrogen peroxide on the reduction of some foodborne pathogens on eggshell
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), citric acid, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), alone or in combination, on reducing the population of four foodborne pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus on eggshells. In each series of tests, eight fresh eggs were inoculated with each bact...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of the bacteriophage T4 tail-associated lysozyme.
Direct evidence has been obtained that the tail-associated lysozyme of bacteriophage T4 (tail-lysozyme) is gp5, which is a protein component of the hub of the baseplate. Tails were treated with 3 M guanidine hydrochloride containing 1% Triton X-100, and the tail-lysozyme was separated from other tail components by preparative isoelectric focusing electrophoresis as a peak with a pI of 8.4. The ...
