Escherichia coli genome-wide promoter analysis: Identification of additional AtoC binding target elements

Correction: A Genome-Wide Analysis of Promoter-Mediated Phenotypic Noise in Escherichia coli

A Genome-Wide Analysis of Promoter-Mediated Phenotypic Noise in Escherichia coli

Gene expression is subject to random perturbations that lead to fluctuations in the rate of protein production. As a consequence, for any given protein, genetically identical organisms living in a constant environment will contain different amounts of that particular protein, resulting in different phenotypes. This phenomenon is known as "phenotypic noise." In bacterial systems, previous studie...

Interactions of the antizyme AtoC with regulatory elements of the Escherichia coli atoDAEB operon.

AtoC has a dual function as both an antizyme, the posttranslational inhibitor of polyamine biosynthetic enzymes, and the transcriptional regulator of genes involved in short-chain fatty acid catabolism (the atoDAEB operon). We have previously shown that AtoC is the response regulator of the AtoS-AtoC two-component signal transduction system that activates atoDAEB when Escherichia coli is expose...

Genome-wide analysis of lipoprotein expression in Escherichia coli MG1655.

To gain insight into the cell envelope of Escherichia coli grown under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, lipoproteins were examined by using functional genomics. The mRNA expression levels of each of these genes under three growth conditions--aerobic, anaerobic, and anaerobic with nitrate--were examined by using both Affymetrix GeneChip E. coli antisense genome arrays and real-time PCR (RT-PCR)...

Genome-wide partial correlation analysis of Escherichia coli microarray data.

Transcriptional control is an essential regulatory mechanism employed by bacteria. Much about transcriptional regulation remains to be discovered, even for the most widely studied bacterium, Escherichia coli. In the present study, we made a genome-wide low-order partial correlation analysis of E. coli microarray data with the purpose of recovering regulatory interactions from transcriptome data...
