A DNA fragment of Desulfovibrio gigas genome containing replication origin related genes.

چکیده
The nucleotide sequence of a 10,772 base pair (bp) region from Desulfovibrio gigas genome was determined. This sequence, which is adjacent to the region containing the coding units for the metalloproteins rubredoxin-oxygen oxidoreductase (ROO) and rubredoxin, includes the flavodoxin gene. Additionally, it also contains four open reading frames (ORFs) related to genes frequently found in replication origin regions of prokaryotes. These hypothetical encoded polypeptides are: the response regulator proteins (PhoP and PhoR) from the phosphate regulon, a DNA partitioning protein and an asparagine synthetase.

The Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) genome contains both cis-acting and trans-acting elements, which are important in viral DNA replication. The cis-acting elements consist of two copies of oriS, and the trans-acting elements are those genes whose products are required for virus DNA replication. It has been shown that each of the seven genes required for ori-dependent DNA synthesis of Herpes Simpl...

Rubredoxin-oxygen oxidoreductase, an 86-kDa homodimeric flavoprotein, is the final component of a soluble electron transfer chain that couples NADH oxidation with oxygen reduction to water from the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas. A 4.2-kb fragment of D. gigas chromosomal DNA containing the roo gene and the rubredoxin gene was sequenced. Additional open reading frames designated ...

Desulfovibrio gigas is a model organism of sulfate-reducing bacteria of which energy metabolism and stress response have been extensively studied. The complete genomic context of this organism was however, not yet available. The sequencing of the D. gigas genome provides insights into the integrated network of energy conserving complexes and structures present in this bacterium. Comparison with...

The chemosensory system of bacteria controls their motility and behaviour in different environments. In the present study, we report the identification of the first chemotaxis operon in Desulfovibrio gigas. Amino acid sequence analysis revealed seven coding regions for polypeptides with a high similarity to chemotaxis proteins from other organisms. D. gigas chemotaxis operon has a similar genet...

Desulfovibrio gigas belongs to the group of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB). These ubiquitous and metabolically versatile microorganisms are often exposed to reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Nonetheless, the mechanisms and regulatory elements involved in nitrosative stress protection are still poorly understood. The transcription factor HcpR has emerged as a putative regulator of nitrosative st...
