A shape-shifting redox foldase contributes to Proteus mirabilis copper resistance
Copper resistance is a key virulence trait of the uropathogen Proteus mirabilis. Here we show that P. mirabilis ScsC (PmScsC) contributes to this defence mechanism by enabling swarming in the presence of copper. We also demonstrate that PmScsC is a thioredoxin-like disulfide isomerase but, unlike other characterized proteins in this family, it is trimeric. PmScsC trimerization and its active si...
متن کاملR-factor-mediated resistance to tetracycline in Proteus mirabilis.
The expression of R-factor-mediated resistance to tetracycline has been compared in Proteus mirabilis and Escherichia coli. Resistance to a range of concentrations of tetracycline was significantly lower in P. mirabilis than in E. coli in both induced and repressed states. Indirect evidence showed that conditions which result in a marked increase in the level of resistance of P. mirabilis harbo...
متن کاملDerivation of a Proteus mirabilis converting phage for ampicillin resistance.
A lysate of phage 5006M was prepared on Proteus mirabilis ~ ~ 5 0 0 6 which harboured the plasmid P-lac to which the ampicillin resistance gene of R plasmid RP4 had been transposed. This lysate transduced the ampicillin resistance marker to ~ ~ 5 0 0 6 at a frequency of 5 x 10-l~ per plaque-forming unit adsorbed. Five independently derived transductants were induced with ultraviolet light and y...
متن کاملLipoprotein from Proteus mirabilis.
The biosynthesis of a Proteus mirabilis outer membrane protein of molecular weight of approximately 7,000 was found to be relatively resistant to puromycin and rifampin, as is the case for the Escherichia coli liporotein. Furthermore, the existence of the lipoprotein in P. mirabilis was indicated by a comparison of the amino acid compositions of the purified free and bound forms of this protein...
متن کاملMechanism of polymyxin B resistance in Proteus mirabilis.
The lipids from three types of organisms-a Proteus mirabilis wild type highly resistant to polymyxin B, a polymyxin B-sensitive mutant derived from the wild type, and the wild type grown in the presence of sulfadiazine resulting in phenotypic conversion to polymyxin B sensitivity-were examined to determine the nature of polymyxin B resistance. The phospholipid compositions were nearly identical...
