چکیده

A Bacillus subtilis strain with the polynucleotide phosphorylase gene deleted was sensitive for growth in the presence of tetracycline. This strain was used to select for tetracycline-resistant mutants. A point mutation in the tetA(L) promoter and a spontaneously occurring tetA(L) gene copy number mutant were characterized.

Adaptive gene expression in Bacillus subtilis strains deleted for tetL.

The growth properties of a new panel of Bacillus subtilis tetL deletion strains and of a derivative set of strains in which tetL is restored to the chromosome support earlier indications that deletion of tetL results in a range of phenotypes that are unrelated to tetracycline resistance. These phenotypes were not reversed by restoration of a tetL gene to its native locus and were hypothesized t...

mrp, a multigene, multifunctional locus in Bacillus subtilis with roles in resistance to cholate and to Na+ and in pH homeostasis.

A 5.9-kb region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome is transcribed as a single transcript that is predicted to encode seven membrane-spanning proteins. Homologues of the first gene of this operon, for which the designation mrp (multiple resistance and pH adaptation) is proposed here, have been suggested to encode an Na+/H+ antiporter or a K+/H+ antiporter. In the present studies of the B. subti...

MOLECULAR CLONING AND EVALUATION OF WILD PROMOTER IN EXPRESSION OF BACILLUS SPHAERICUS PHENYLALANINE DEHYDROGENASE GENE IN BACILLUS SUBTILIS CELLS

To evaluate the role of wild promoter of L-phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) gene, referred to as pdh, from Bacillus sphaericus in expression, cloning of pdh gene in Bacillus subtilis was performed. The whole pdh gene was cloned in pHY300PLK shuttle vector and amplified, construct (pHYDH) then transformed in B. subtilis ISW1214 and E. coli JM109. The pdh endogenous promoter presented no effec...

Initiation of decay of Bacillus subtilis rpsO mRNA by endoribonuclease RNase Y.

rpsO mRNA, a small monocistronic mRNA that encodes ribosomal protein S15, was used to study aspects of mRNA decay initiation in Bacillus subtilis. Decay of rpsO mRNA in a panel of 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease mutants was analyzed using a 5'-proximal oligonucleotide probe and a series of oligonucleotide probes that were complementary to overlapping sequences starting at the 3' end. The results provi...

Addition of poly(A) and heteropolymeric 3' ends in Bacillus subtilis wild-type and polynucleotide phosphorylase-deficient strains.

Polyadenylation plays a role in decay of some bacterial mRNAs, as well as in the quality control of stable RNA. In Escherichia coli, poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I) is the main polyadenylating enzyme, but the addition of 3' tails also occurs in the absence of PAP I via the synthetic activity of polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase). The nature of 3'-tail addition in Bacillus subtilis, which lacks ...
