The riboswitch-mediated control of sulfur metabolism in bacteria.
Many operons in Gram-positive bacteria that are involved in methionine (Met) and cysteine (Cys) biosynthesis possess an evolutionarily conserved regulatory leader sequence (S-box) that positively controls these genes in response to methionine starvation. Here, we demonstrate that a feed-back regulation mechanism utilizes S-adenosyl-methionine as an effector. S-adenosyl-methionine directly and s...
متن کاملUnconventional lateral gene transfer in extreme thermophilic bacteria.
Conjugation and natural competence are two major mechanisms that explain the acquisition of foreign genes throughout bacterial evolution. In recent decades, several studies in model organisms have revealed in great detail the steps involved in such processes. The findings support the idea that the major basis of these mechanisms is essentially similar in all bacteria. However, recent work has p...
متن کاملRegulatory consequences of gene translocation in bacteria
Gene translocations play an important role in the plasticity and evolution of bacterial genomes. In this study, we investigated the impact on gene regulation of three genome organizational features that can be altered by translocations: (i) chromosome position; (ii) gene orientation; and (iii) the distance between a target gene and its transcription factor gene ('target-TF distance'). Specifica...
متن کاملExtremely Thermophilic Marine Bacteria
A novel extremely thermophilic bacterium was isolated from a shallow marine hydrothermal vent environment (depth, 22 m) in Tachibana Bay, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The cells of this organism were gramnegative rods. Growth occurred at temperatures between 50 and 85°C (optimum temperature, 80°C; doubling time at optimum temperature, 90 min), at pH 5.5 and 9.0 (optimum pH, 7.0), and in the prese...
متن کاملKey Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation
The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...
