Lowered levels of colicin Ia membrane receptors in an Escherichia coli mutant defective in heme biosynthesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cells of an Escherichia coli mutant defective in heme biosynthesis (hemA) grown under conditions for respiration deficiency (grown in the absence of aminolevulinic acid) have 20% of the number of specific colicin Ia receptors found in cells of the same strain grown under conditions for respiration competency (grown in the presence of aminolevulinic acid).

Detection of Colicin genes by PCR in Escherichia coli isolated from cattle in Shiraz-Iran
A variety of probiotic bacteria have been tested to control animal and foodborne pathogenic bacteria in livestock. The mechanism of inhibition of pathogenic bacteria for several of those probiotic microorganisms is mediated by the production of bacteriocins. Colicins are probably the group of bacteriocins that have been most thoroughly characterized. Colicins are antimicrobial proteins produced...
متن کاملEffects of colicin K on a mutant of Escherichia coli deficient in Ca 2+, Mg 2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase.
The effects of the bactericidal protein colicin K have been compared on a normal strain of Escherichia coli and a derivative, uncA, that is defective in Ca2+,Mg2+-activated ATPase activity. The syntheses of DNA, RNA, and proteins, which are completely arrested by colicin K in the normal E. coli cells, are only reduced by 30 to 50% in the ATPase-deficient cells. Intracellular ATP levels, which a...

متن کاملNormal iron-enterochelin uptake in mutants lacking the colicin I outer membrane receptor protein of Escherichia coli.
The outer membranes of two independent colicin Ia-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 lack the colicin Ia receptor protein. Such mutants exhibit normal capacity for enterochelin (enterobactin)-mediated iron uptake. It is concluded that the colicin Ia receptor is not involved in iron-enterochelin uptake.

Treatment of Escherichia coli K12 C600 with colicin K or E1, but not E3, caused changes in the protein composition of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane and an impairment of the membrane-associated ATP-linked transhydrogenase activity. The major compositional changes were loss and/or reduction in the levels of protein bands 4, 8, 9, 10, 13, and 18 with approximate molecular weights of 122,000, ...
