High-affinity binding of hemimethylated oriC by Escherichia coli membranes is mediated by a multiprotein system that includes SeqA and a newly identified factor, SeqB.
The binding of hemimethylated oriC to Escherichia coli membranes has been implicated in the prevention of premature reinitiation at newly replicated chromosomal origins in a reaction that involves the SeqA protein. We describe the resolution of the membrane-associated oriC-binding activity into two fractions, both of which are required for the high-affinity binding of hemimethylated oriC. The a...
متن کاملIron regulates cytoplasmic levels of a novel iron-responsive element-binding protein without aconitase activity.
Iron-responsive element-binding proteins (IRE-BPs) are cytosolic proteins that bind to a conserved RNA stem-loop, termed the iron-responsive element (IRE), that is located in the 5'- or 3'-untranslated regions of mRNAs involved in iron metabolism. Binding of the IRE-BP to 5'-IREs represses translation, whereas binding to 3'-IREs stabilizes the mRNA. The previously identified IRE-BP (BP1) contai...
متن کاملE. coli SeqA protein binds oriC in two different methyl-modulated reactions appropriate to its roles in DNA replication initiation and origin sequestration
The seqA gene negatively modulates replication initiation at the E. coli origin, oriC. seqA is also essential for sequestration, which acts at oriC and the dnaA promoter to ensure that replication initiation occurs exactly once per chromosome per cell cycle. Initiation is promoted by full methylation of GATC sites clustered in oriC; sequestration is specific to the hemimethylated forms generate...
متن کاملNdel1 Palmitoylation: a Novel Mean to Regulate Cytoplasmic Dynein Activity
Thank you for submitting your manuscript for consideration by The EMBO Journal. I would like to apologize for the fact that it has taken us somewhat longer than usual to evaluate it, but we have now finally received all three sets of reviews on your study, with the comments directly to the authors copied below. As you will see, the referees find your results on dynein regulation by Ndel1 palmit...
متن کاملautolytic activity and plasma binding study of aap, a novel minor autolysin of streptococcus pneumoniae
pneumococcal autolysins are enzymes involved in cell wall turnover and cellular division physiologically. they have been found to be involved in the pneumococcus pathogenesis. the aim of this study was to identify the autolytic activity of spr1754 as a novel protein of streptococcus pneumoniae . moreover, the binding of the recombinant protein to plasma proteins was also determined. the spr1754...
