Valine-resistant Escherichia coli K-12 strains with mutations in the ilvB operon.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Escherichia coli K-12 mutants resistant to growth inhibition by valine were isolated. These strains contained mutations in the ilvB operon effecting either the regulation of acetohydroxy acid synthase I or the sensitivity of the enzyme to end product inhibition by valine.

Molecular Study of Phase Variation of Type 1 Fimbriae in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli O44 Serotypes during Touching with Solid Surfaces
Background & Aims: Type 1 fimbriae is the most common adhesion factor in urine tract infection. In this Study, presence of virulence genes in isolated strains of uropathogenic E.Coli, O serotyping and molecular detection of phase variation of type 1 fimbriae were assessed during solid surfaces exposure. Methods: Isolated E.coli from urine samples of patients were serotyped by using serologic me...
متن کاملInteraction of cycnc AMP receptor protein with the ilvB biosynthetic operon in E. coli
DNase and restriction site protection studies show that cAMP and its receptor protein (CRP) bind to the promoter of the ilvB operon at approximately position -44 to -82. This region contains sequences that are homologous to those found in other CRP-dependent promoters. In vitro transcription from the ilvB promoter was markedly increased by the addition of cAMP and CRP. This stimulation was not ...
متن کاملOperator-constitutive mutants in the threonine operon of Escherichia coli K-12.
Three Escherichia coli K-12 mutant strains resistant to DL-alpha-amino-beta-hydroxyvaleric acid were isolated in which the expression of the thr operon is constitutive. The localization and dominance properties of the mutations involved, called thrO, are those of operator mutations. The gene sequence is OABC as suggested by earlier studies.
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of the ilvB promoter-regulatory region: a biosynthetic operon controlled by attenuation and cyclic AMP.
The DNA sequence of the promoter-regulatory region of the ilvB operon of Escherichia coli was determined. This region encodes a potential leader polypeptide containing 32 amino acids, 12 of which are the regulatory amino acids valine and leucine. Approximately 50 residues downstream from the coding region for the potential leader peptide is a site for terminating transcription. In vitro transcr...
متن کاملStudy of Mutations in the DNA gyrase gyrA Gene of Escherichia coli
Quinolones are a large and widely consumed class of synthetic drugs. Expanded-spectrum quinolones, like ciprofloxacin are highly effective against Gram-negative bacteria, especially Escherichia coli. In E. coli the major target for quinolones is DNA gyrase. This enzyme is composed of two subunits, GyrA and GyrB encoding by gyrA and gyrB, respectively. Mutations in either of these genes cause qu...
