DNA polymerase I function is required for the utilization of ethanolamine, 1,2-propanediol, and propionate by Salmonella typhimurium LT2.
Evidence documenting the requirement for a functional DNA polymerase I when Salmonella typhimurium LT2 uses ethanolamine (EA), 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDL), or propionate (PRP) as the sole carbon and energy source is presented. Providing rat polymerase beta in trans demonstrated that the growth phenotypes observed were due exclusively to the lack of DNA polymerase I functions. The location of the ...
متن کاملStudies of regulation of expression of the propionate (prpBCDE) operon provide insights into how Salmonella typhimurium LT2 integrates its 1,2-propanediol and propionate catabolic pathways.
Expression of the prpBCDE operon of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 required (i) the synthesis of propionyl-coenzyme A (CoA) by the PrpE protein or the acetyl-CoA-synthesizing systems of the cell and (ii) the synthesis of 2-methylcitrate from propionyl-CoA and oxaloacetate by the PrpC protein. We propose that either 2-methylcitrate or a derivative of it signals the presence of propionate in the envi...
متن کاملIdentification of a new prp locus required for propionate catabolism in Salmonella typhimurium LT2.
A new propionate (prp) locus of S. typhimurium was defined by mutation, was located to minute 8 of the chromosome, and was shown to be transcribed in the clockwise direction. A plasmid carrying the wild-type prp+ locus was isolated by complementation and its initial physical characterization is presented. Transcriptional regulation of prp was studied using MudI1734(lacZ+) operon fusions. Propio...
متن کاملIntegration host factor is required for 1,2-propanediol-dependent transcription of the cob/pdu regulon in Salmonella typhimurium LT2.
We show that integration host factor (IHF) is required for the activation of transcription of the cobalamin biosynthetic (cob) and 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDL) utilization (pdu) operons in Salmonella typhimurium LT2. A lack of IHF affected transcription of the cob/pdu regulon in at least two ways. First, the level of the regulatory protein PocR was decreased in ihfB (formerly himD) mutants, as jud...
متن کاملPropanediol utilization genes (pdu) of Salmonella typhimurium: three genes for the propanediol dehydratase.
The propanediol utilization (pdu) operon of Salmonella typhimurium encodes proteins required for the catabolism of propanediol, including a coenzyme B12-dependent propanediol dehydratase. A clone that expresses propanediol dehydratase activity was isolated from a Salmonella genomic library. DNA sequence analysis showed that the clone included part of the pduF gene, the pduABCDE genes, and a lon...
