Stringency in the absence of ppGpp accumulation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Leucine deprivation of either phototrophically or chemotrophically growing cells of Rhodobacter sphaeroides resulted in a restriction in the continued accumulations of cellular RNA, phospholipids, and protein. Phototrophically growing cells also displayed restrictions in the accumulations of cellular carotenoids and bacteriochlorophyll. Leucine deprivation, however, did not provoke the accumulation of cellular ppGpp or alter the steady-state levels of ppGpp, ATP, or GTP in cells of R. sphaeroides.

A Rhodobacter sphaeroides Protein Mechanistically Similar to Escherichia coli DksA Regulates Photosynthetic Growth
ABSTRACT DksA is a global regulatory protein that, together with the alarmone ppGpp, is required for the "stringent response" to nutrient starvation in the gammaproteobacterium Escherichia coli and for more moderate shifts between growth conditions. DksA modulates the expression of hundreds of genes, directly or indirectly. Mutants lacking a DksA homolog exhibit pleiotropic phenotypes in other ...
متن کاملEffect of Concomitant Lycopene Biosynthesis on CoQ10 Accumulation in Transformed Escherichia coli Strains
CoQ10 and lycopene are isoprenoid compounds with nutraceutical and pharmaceutical benefits. In this study, the effect of concomitant lycopene biosynthesis on CoQ10 accumulation in transformed Escherichia coli DH5α was studied. A lycopene production pathway including geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (crtE), phytoene synthase (crtB), and phytoene desaturase (crtI) from Erwinia herbicola was co...
متن کاملPhotolithoautotrophic growth and control of CO2 fixation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodospirillum rubrum in the absence of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase.
Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodobacter sphaeroides were shown to be capable of photolithoautotrophic growth in the absence of the reductive pentose phosphate (Calvin) cycle. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RubisCO) deletion strains were incapable of photolithoautotrophic growth using hydrogen as an electron donor but were able to grow in the absence of organic carbon using less ...
متن کاملThe effect of phosphate on the motility of Rhodobacter sphaeroides
When Rhodobacter sphaeroides was resuspended in sodium phosphate buffer directly after growth on complete medium there was an almost complete loss of motility. The addition of 1 mM sodium phosphate to R. sphaeroides suspended in Hepes buffer also caused an immediate reduction in the mean swimming speed of 35%; an effect that was maintained for more than 60 rain. This loss of motility was preven...
متن کاملA novel mechanism for the regulation of photosynthesis gene expression by the TspO outer membrane protein of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1.
A bacterial homolog of the mammalian mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor, the tryptophan-rich sensory protein (TspO) has been previously demonstrated to negatively affect the transcriptional expression of several photosynthesis genes of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. To identify components of the signal transduction pathway from the outer membrane-localized TspO to the DNA-active transcription fact...
