Release Factor One Is Nonessential in Escherichia coli
Recoding a stop codon to an amino acid may afford orthogonal genetic systems for biosynthesizing new protein and organism properties. Although reassignment of stop codons has been found in extant organisms, a model organism is lacking to investigate the reassignment process and to direct code evolution. Complete reassignment of a stop codon is precluded by release factors (RFs), which recognize...
متن کاملEscherichia coli open reading frame 696 is idi, a nonessential gene encoding isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase.
Isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). In eukaryotes, archaebacteria, and some bacteria, IPP is synthesized from acetyl coenzyme A by the mevalonate pathway. The subsequent isomerization of IPP to DMAPP activates the five-carbon isoprene unit for subsequent prenyl transfer reactions. In Escherichia ...
متن کاملDrosophila G9a is a nonessential gene.
Mammalian G9a is a euchromatic histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase essential for development. Here, we characterize the Drosophila homolog of G9a, dG9a. We generated a dG9a deletion allele by homologous recombination. Analysis of this allele revealed that, in contrast to recent findings, dG9a is not required for fly viability.
متن کاملThe Drosophila zeste locus is nonessential.
Diepoxybutane-induced mutations of the Drosophila zeste locus were generated in an effort to obtain a null allele. Of 33 mutations of this X-linked gene isolated, 16 were associated with multilocus deletions of zeste and adjacent complementation groups, while the remainder were defects restricted to zeste undetectable by Southern blot analysis. Two of these multilocus deletions (Df(1)zdeb3 and ...
متن کاملBIOTECHNOLOGICALLY RELEVANT ENZYMES AND PROTEINS Expression of chondroitin-4-O-sulfotransferase inEscherichia coli and Pichia pastoris
Chondroitin sulfates are linear sulfated polysaccharides called glycosaminoglycans. They are important nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products that are biosynthesized through the action of chondroitin sulfotransferases on either an unsulfated chondroitin or a dermatan polysaccharide precursor. While the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfates are well known, the cloning e...
