Random linker-insertion mutagenesis to identify functional domains of herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein B.
Herpes simplex virus glycoprotein B (gB) is one of four glycoproteins essential for viral entry and cell fusion. Recently, an x-ray structure of the nearly full-length trimeric gB ectodomain was determined. Five structural domains and two linker regions were identified in what is probably a postfusion conformation. To identify functional domains of gB, we performed random linker-insertion mutag...
متن کاملRandom Transposon Mutagenesis Used to Identify Pigmentation Gene in Chromobacterium violaceum
The pigmentation of the gram-negative bacteria known as Chromobacterium violaceum is characterized by a dark violet color. This study focused on the identification of a gene involved in C. violaceum pigment production. In order to identify one of the genes responsible for pigmentation of this organism, functional genomics methods were implemented using a form of knockout gene; which provides th...
متن کاملSignature-Tagged Mutagenesis to Identify Virulence Genes in Salmonella choleraesuis
Signature-tagged mutagenesis is a functional genomics approach to identify bacterial virulence genes by simultaneously screening multiple mutants in a single host animal. Avirulent (attenuated) mutants are identified by negative selection (failure to colonize the host). The method was recently developed to investigate Salmonella typhimurium in a mouse model of human typhoid fever. We modified t...
متن کاملA large-scale mutagenesis screen to identify seizure-resistant zebrafish.
PURPOSE Zebrafish are a vertebrate organism ideally suited to mutagenesis screening strategies. Although a genetic basis for seizure susceptibility and epilepsy is well established, no efforts have been made to study seizure resistance. Here we describe a novel strategy to isolate seizure-resistant zebrafish mutants from a large-scale mutagenesis screen. METHODS Seizures were induced with pen...
متن کاملRandom mutagenesis of yeast 25S rRNA identify bases critical for 60S subunit structural integrity and function
In yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 25S rRNA makes up the major mass and shape of the 60S ribosomal subunit. During translation initiation, the 60S subunit joins the 40S initiation complex, producing the 80S initiation complex. During elongation, the 60S subunit binds the CCA-ends of aminoacyl- and peptidyl-tRNAs at the A-loop and P-loop, respectively, transferring the peptide onto the α-amino g...
