Species- and strain-specific control of a complex, flexible regulon by Bordetella BvgAS.
The Bordetella master virulence regulatory system, BvgAS, controls a spectrum of gene expression states, including the virulent Bvg(+) phase, the avirulent Bvg(-) phase, and at least one Bvg-intermediate (Bvg(i)) phase. We set out to define the species- and strain-specific features of this regulon based on global gene expression profiling. Rather than functioning as a switch, Bvg controls a rem...
متن کاملThe BvgAS Regulon of Bordetella pertussis
Nearly all virulence factors in Bordetella pertussis are activated by a master two-component system, BvgAS, composed of the sensor kinase BvgS and the response regulator BvgA. When BvgS is active, BvgA is phosphorylated (BvgA~P), and virulence-activated genes (vags) are expressed [Bvg(+) mode]. When BvgS is inactive and BvgA is not phosphorylated, virulence-repressed genes (vrgs) are induced [B...
متن کاملAlcaligin siderophore production by Bordetella bronchiseptica strain RB50 is not repressed by the BvgAS virulence control system.
A previous study found that alcaligin siderophore production by Bordetella bronchiseptica strain RB50 is Bvg repressed. In contrast, we report that alcaligin production by RB50 does not require Bvg phenotypic phase modulation and that isogenic Bvg(Con) and Bvg(-) phase-locked mutants both produce alcaligin in response to iron starvation.

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
15 صفحه اولThe multifaceted RisA regulon of Bordetella pertussis
The whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis regulates the production of its virulence factors by the BvgA/S system. Phosphorylated BvgA activates the virulence-activated genes (vags) and represses the expression of the virulence-repressed genes (vrgs) via the activation of the bvgR gene. In modulating conditions, with MgSO4, the BvgA/S system is inactive, and the vrgs are expressed. Here, we ...
