چکیده

The screening of a gene library of the milk-clotting strain Myxococcus xanthus 422 constructed in Escherichia coli allowed the description of eight positive clones containing 26 open reading frames. Only three of them (cltA, cltB, and cltC) encoded proteins that exhibited intracellular milk-clotting ability in E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Pichia pastoris expression systems.

Bacterial Expression and Functional Characterization of A Naturally Occurring Exon6-less Preprochymosin cDNA

Chymosin (Rennin EC 3.4.23.4), an aspartyl proteinase, is the major proteolytic enzyme in the fourthstomach of the unweaned calf, and it is formed by proteolytic activation of its zymogene, prochymosin.Following the cloning of synthesized cDNAs on mRNA pools extracted from the mucosa of the calf fourthstomach, we have identified an alternatively spliced form of preprochymosin ...

A vitamin B12-based system for conditional expression reveals dksA to be an essential gene in Myxococcus xanthus.

Myxococcus xanthus is a prokaryotic model system for the study of multicellular development and the response to blue light. The previous analyses of these processes and the characterization of new genes would benefit from a robust system for controlled gene expression, which has been elusive so far for this bacterium. Here, we describe a system for conditional expression of genes in M. xanthus ...

Activation of a development-specific gene, dofA, by FruA, an essential transcription factor for development of Myxococcus xanthus.

FruA is an essential transcription factor for Myxococcus xanthus development. The expression of tps and dofA genes is fruA dependent. In this study, we show by gel shift and footprint assays with the C-terminal DNA-binding domain of FruA and by a lacZ fusion assay that FruA may directly activate dofA expression during development.

The Myxococcus xanthus developmentally expressed asgB-dependent genes can be targets of the A signal-generating or A signal-responding pathway.

Functional Myxococcus xanthus A signal-generating and A signal-responding pathways are required for the progression through early multicellular development. To identify genes responsive to these pathways, the expression of eight early developmental genes was analyzed. This examination identified one gene as a target of the A signal-generating pathway and four genes as targets of the A signal-re...

Role for vitamin B(12) in light induction of gene expression in the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.

A light-inducible promoter (P(B)) drives the carB operon (carotenoid genes) of the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus. A gene encoding a regulator of carotenoid biosynthesis was identified by studying mutant strains carrying a transcriptional fusion to P(B) and deletions in three candidate genes. Our results prove that the identified gene, named carA, codes for a repressor of the P(B) promoter in the...
