Functional expression of the Enterococcus hirae NaH-antiporter in Escherichia coli.
We recently described the cloning of napA, the putative structural gene for the NaH-antiporter of Enterococcus hirae (Waser, M., Bienz-Hess, D., Davies, K., and Solioz, M. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 5396-5400). To analyze the gene product of napA, we expressed it in Escherichia coli. When placed under the control of a T7 promoter, napA could be transcribed and labeled specifically with [35S]met...
متن کاملCloning and disruption of a putative NaH-antiporter gene of Enterococcus hirae.
When growing in a sodium-rich environment, wild-type Enterococcus hirae extrudes sodium by two mechanisms, ATP-driven sodium extrusion, and NaH-antiport. Mutant 7683 is unable to grow on sodium-rich media. This is due to two mutations, one inactivating ATP-driven sodium transport and a second rendering NaH-antiport inoperative. 7683 was transformed by electroporation with a gene bank, derived f...
متن کاملThe putative Na+/H+ antiporter (NapA) of Enterococcus hirae is homologous to the putative K+/H+ antiporter (KefC) of Escherichia coli.
Two monovalent ion porters, the putative Na+/H+ antiporter (NapA) of Enterococcus hirae and the putative K+/H+ antiporter (KefC) of Escherichia coli, are similar in sequence throughout their hydrophobic domains. These two proteins, which comprise a novel family of transporters unrelated to the previously characterized Na+/H+ exchangers of E. coli (NhaA and NhaB) are proposed to function by esse...
متن کاملcloning and expression of functional reteplase in escherichia coli top10
background: production of tissue plasminogen activator protein (t-pa) in prokaryotes systems has many problems such as the lack of active protein production, multiple purification steps, and renaturation process which has been shown to be costly and time-consuming. methods: in this study, reteplase which is the nonglycosylated active domain of t-pa was used to transform top10 escherichia coli (...
متن کاملFunctional motifs in Escherichia coli NC101
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria can damage DNA of the gut lining cells and may encourage the development of colon cancer according to recent reports. Genetic switches are specific sequence motifs and many of them are drug targets. It is interesting to know motifs and their location in sequences. At the present study, Gibbs sampler algorithm was used in order to predict and find functional m...
