HorC, a hop-resistance related protein, presumably functions in homodimer form.

چکیده
To determine whether two HorC molecules coordinately form a single unit, the functional properties of covalently linked dimers of HorC encoded by tandemly fused horC genes were studied. Lactobacillus brevis introduced with the fused horC genes and a single horC gene exhibited same degree of resistance to hop compounds and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. This suggests that HorC functions as a homodimer.

Isolation of a hop-sensitive variant of Lactobacillus lindneri and identification of genetic markers for beer spoilage ability of lactic acid bacteria.
We have isolated a hop-sensitive variant of the beer spoilage bacterium Lactobacillus lindneri DSM 20692. The variant lost a plasmid carrying two contiguous open reading frames (ORF s) designated horB(L) and horC(L) that encode a putative regulator and multidrug transporter presumably belonging to the resistance-nodulation-cell division superfamily. The loss of hop resistance ability occurred w...
متن کاملRole of plasmids in Lactobacillus brevis BSO 464 hop tolerance and beer spoilage.
Specific isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can grow in the harsh beer environment, thus posing a threat to brew quality and the economic success of breweries worldwide. Plasmid-localized genes, such as horA, horC, and hitA, have been suggested to confer hop tolerance, a trait required for LAB survival in beer. The presence and expression of these genes among LAB, however, do not universall...
متن کاملRapid purification of HU protein from Halobacillus karajensis
The histone-like protein HU is the most-abundant DNA-binding protein in bacteria. The HU protein non-specifically binds and bends DNA as a hetero- or homodimer, and can participate in DNA supercoiling and DNA condensation. It also takes part in DNA functions such as replication, recombination, and repair. HU does not recognize any specific sequences but shows a certain degree of specificity to ...
متن کاملComparative proteomics analysis of a novel g-radiation-resistant bacterium wild-type Bacillus megaterium strain WHO DQ973298 recovering from 5 KGy g-irradiation
In order to examine radiation-induced proteins in an extremely radio-resistant bacterium, it became possibleto perform comparative proteomic analysis on radio-resistance Bacillus megaterium WHO as a wildtypestrain for the first time. Variation in cellular proteins profiles of the Bacillus megaterium WHO after 5KGy γ-irradiation were analyzed by two-dimensional poly acryl amide...

Background and Objectives: Skeletal muscle mass depends on the balance between synthesis and degradation of muscle protein, which changes with aging and disease. The aim of the present reserch was to examine the effects of two exercise training protocols on alterations of some genes involved in pathways of protein synthesis and degradation in order to achieve a more effective training program i...
