A genetic screen for the identification of thiamin metabolic genes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A genetic screen was developed for the identification of genes related to thiamin biosynthesis and degradation. Genes conferring resistance to bacimethrin or 4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine were selected from Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis genomic libraries. Hits from the selection included the known thiamin biosynthetic genes thiC, thiE, and dxs as well as five genes of previously unknown function (E. coli yjjX, yajO, ymfB, and cof and B. subtilis yveN). The gene products YmfB and Cof catalyze the hydrolysis of 4-amino-2-methyl-5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine pyrophosphate to 4-amino-2-methyl-5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine phosphate. YmfB also converts thiamin pyrophosphate into thiamin phosphate.

Identification and Functional Prediction of Long Non-Coding RNAs Responsive to Drought stress in Lens culinaris L.
Drought stress is one of the main environmental factors that affects growth and productivity of crop plants, including lentil. In the course of evolution evolution, crucial genetic regulations mediated by non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged in plant in response to drought and other abiotic stresses. In the present study, after identifying lncRNAs within the expression profile of lentil, RNA-s...
متن کاملIn silico identification of miRNAs and their target genes and analysis of gene co-expression network in saffron (Crocus sativus L.) stigma
As an aromatic and colorful plant of substantive taste, saffron (Crocus sativus L.) owes such properties of matter to growing class of the secondary metabolites derived from the carotenoids, apocarotenoids. Regarding the critical role of microRNAs in secondary metabolic synthesis and the limited number of identified miRNAs in C. sativus, on the other hand, one may see the point how the characte...
متن کاملIdentification of Alzheimer disease-relevant genes using a novel hybrid method
Identifying genes underlying complex diseases/traits that generally involve multiple etiological mechanisms and contributing genes is difficult. Although microarray technology has enabled researchers to investigate gene expression changes, but identifying pathobiologically relevant genes remains a challenge. To address this challenge, we apply a new method for selecting the disease-relevant gen...
