Pasteurellaceae ComE1 Proteins Combine the Properties of Fibronectin Adhesins and DNA Binding Competence Proteins
A novel fibronectin-binding protein from Pasteurella multocida (PM1665) that binds to the fibronectin type III(9-10) modules via two helix-hairpin-helix motifs has recently been described [1]. This protein shares homology with competence-related DNA-binding and uptake proteins (ComEA and ComE) from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we show that recombinant PM1665 (now designated C...
متن کاملCompetence, DNA Uptake and Transformation in Pasteurellaceae
e ability to take up DNA from the environment and recombine it into the chromosome appears to be ancestral to the Pasteurellaceae, although only some isolates do this efficiently under laboratory conditions. Studies of readily transformable isolates have shown that competence for DNA uptake is regulated by the cyclic AMP-dependent regulatory protein CRP and by Sxy, a competence-specific transcr...
متن کاملDNA-binding properties of ARID family proteins
The ARID (A-T Rich Interaction Domain) is a helix-turn-helix motif-based DNA-binding domain, conserved in all eukaryotes and diagnostic of a family that includes 15 distinct human proteins with important roles in development, tissue-specific gene expression and proliferation control. The 15 human ARID family proteins can be divided into seven subfamilies based on the degree of sequence identity...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum fibronectin-binding proteins.
Putative adhesins were predicted by computer analysis of the Treponema pallidum genome. Two treponemal proteins, Tp0155 and Tp0483, demonstrated specific attachment to fibronectin, blocked bacterial adherence to fibronectin-coated slides, and supported attachment of fibronectin-producing mammalian cells. These results suggest Tp0155 and Tp0483 are fibronectin-binding proteins mediating T. palli...
متن کاملDNA-binding properties of nuclear matrix proteins.
Mouse nuclear matrix proteins, examined by a filter assay, were found to bind to DNA. There was no preference for homologous mouse compared to heterologous E. coli DNA. Competition assays showed a preference for AT-rich DNA and of the 4 single-stranded homopolymers there was a preference for poly(dT). These observations are consistent with the possibility that the matrix may play a role in the ...
