Host specificity of DNA produced by Escherichia coli, X. In vitro restriction of phage fd replicative form.
The functions involved in strain-specific modification and restriction of DNA produced by Escherichia coli are under the genetic control of the chromosome or of other genetic elements such as prophage and transfer factors. ' They are active upon bacterial as well as many phage DNA's. The relatively small, biologically active phage DNA's which can be isolated in a homogeneous form provide a conv...
متن کاملCytotoxins Produced by Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli
The Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) O113:H21 strain 98NK2, which was responsible for an outbreak of hemolytic uremic syndrome, secretes a highly potent and lethal subtilase cytotoxin that is unrelated to any bacterial toxin described to date. It is the prototype of a new family of AB 5 toxins, comprising a single 35-kilodalton (kD) A subunit and a pentamer of 13-kD B subunits. The A sub...
متن کاملAntibacterial Activity of the Peptide Microcin J25 Produced by Escherichia coli
Background and objectives: Bacteriocins are generally active antimicrobial peptides effective against bacteria closely related to the producer. Escherichia coli produce two bacteriocins: colicins and microcins. Microcin J25 (Mcc J25) is an antibacterial peptide that inhibits bacterial transcription by disrupting the nucleotide-uptake channel of bacterial RNA polymerase. The objective of this st...
متن کاملProbing the DNA sequence specificity of Escherichia coli RECA protein
Escherichia coli RecA protein catalyzes the central DNA strand-exchange step of homologous recombination, which is essential for the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks. In this reaction, RecA first polymerizes on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to form a right-handed helical filament with one monomer per 3 nt of ssDNA. RecA generally binds to any sequence of ssDNA but has a preference for GT-rich...
متن کاملEscherichia coli host strains.
To successfully perform molecular genetic techniques it is essential to have a full understanding of the properties of the various Escherichia coli host strains commonly used for the propagation and manipulation of recombinant DNA. E. coli is an enteric rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium with a circular genome of 4.6 Mb (1). It was originally chosen as a model system because of its ability to g...
