LECITHINASE FROM BACILLUS ANTHRACIS

Lecithinase from Bacillus anthracis.

When Bacillus anthracis is grown in egg yolk medium, a reaction occurs which is presumably due to lecithinase (Colmer, 1948; McGaughey and Chu, 1948; Chu, 1949). In liquid egg yolk medium the lecithinase reaction is characterized by the formation of an opalescent suspension and flocculation of particles which rise to the top of the medium as a curd. A test such as this is usually referred to as...

Siderophore Pathway from Bacillus anthracis

Mn(II) binding by the anthracis repressor from Bacillus anthracis.

The anthracis repressor (AntR) is a manganese-activated transcriptional regulator from Bacillus anthracis and is a member of the diphtheria toxin repressor (DtxR) family of proteins. In this paper, we characterize the Mn(II) binding and protein dimerization state using a combination of continuous wave (cw) and pulsed EPR methods. Equilibrium metal binding experiments showed that AntR binds 2 eq...
