Identification of operators and promoters that control SXT conjugative transfer.
Transfer of SXT, a Vibrio cholerae-derived integrating conjugative element that encodes multiple antibiotic resistance genes, is repressed by SetR, a lambda434 cI-related repressor. Here we identify divergent promoters between s086 and setR that drive expression of the regulators of SXT transfer. One transcript encodes the activators of transfer, setC and setD. The second transcript codes for S...
متن کاملTransfer activation of SXT/R391 integrative and conjugative elements: unraveling the SetCD regulon
Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) of the SXT/R391 family have been recognized as key drivers of antibiotic resistance dissemination in the seventh-pandemic lineage of Vibrio cholerae. SXT/R391 ICEs propagate by conjugation and integrate site-specifically into the chromosome of a wide range of environmental and clinical Gammaproteobacteria. SXT/R391 ICEs bear setC and setD, two conserv...
متن کاملThe extended regulatory networks of SXT/R391 integrative and conjugative elements and IncA/C conjugative plasmids
Nowadays, healthcare systems are challenged by a major worldwide drug resistance crisis caused by the massive and rapid dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes and associated emergence of multidrug resistant pathogenic bacteria, in both clinical and environmental settings. Conjugation is the main driving force of gene transfer among microorganisms. This mechanism of horizontal gene transfe...
متن کاملsome properties of fuzzy hilbert spaces and norm of operators
in this thesis, at first we investigate the bounded inverse theorem on fuzzy normed linear spaces and study the set of all compact operators on these spaces. then we introduce the notions of fuzzy boundedness and investigate a new norm operators and the relationship between continuity and boundedness. and, we show that the space of all fuzzy bounded operators is complete. finally, we define...
15 صفحه اولControl of SXT integration and excision.
The Vibrio cholerae SXT element is a conjugative self-transmissible chromosomally integrating element that encodes resistance to multiple antibiotics. SXT integrates in a site-specific fashion at prfC and excises from the chromosome to form a circular but nonreplicative extrachromosomal form. Both chromosomal integration and excision depend on an SXT-encoded recombinase, Int. Here we found that...
