Analysis of DNA regulatory elements required for expression of the Legionella pneumophila icm and dot virulence genes.
To investigate the regulation of the Legionella pneumophila icm and dot genes required for intracellular growth, a series of nine icm::lacZ fusions were constructed. These icm::lacZ fusions were found to have different levels of expression in L. pneumophila, and five of them were more highly expressed at stationary phase than at exponential phase. When the expression of these fusions in Escheri...
متن کاملExpression of lacZ from the promoter of the Escherichia coli spc operon cloned into vectors carrying the W205 trp-lac fusion.
The expression of lacZ has been analyzed and compared in a series of promoter cloning vectors by measuring the amount of lacZ mRNA by hybridization and the amount of beta-galactosidase by standard enzymatic assay. Expression was driven by the promoter, Pspc, of the spc ribosomal protein operon. The vectors contained either the standard W205 trp-lac fusion with the trp operon transcription termi...
متن کاملStress responses as a tool To detect and characterize the mode of action of antibacterial agents.
Single-copy gene fusions between the lacZ reporter gene and Escherichia coli strains containing promoters induced by cold shock (cspA), cytoplasmic stress (ibp), or protein misfolding in the cell envelope (P3rpoH) were constructed and tested to determine their ability to detect antibacterial agents while simultaneously providing information on their cellular targets. Antibiotics that affect pro...
متن کاملRegulation of the ldhA gene, encoding the fermentative lactate dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli.
The fermentative lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of Escherichia coli is induced by low pH under anaerobic conditions. Both translational and transcriptional gene fusions to ldhA, which encodes the fermentative LDH, have now been made. Both types of ldhA-lacZ fusion were induced by low pH, but only in the absence of air. However, the translational fusions were consistently expressed at a five- to te...
متن کاملRegulation of the put operon in Salmonella typhimurium: characterization of promoter and operator mutations.
The two genes required for proline utilization by S. typhimurium form a divergent operon. Expression of the put operon is induced by proline and subject to catabolite repression. Genetic evidence suggests that putA protein autogenously represses transcription of the putA and putP genes. In order to establish the molecular mechanism of put operon regulation we isolated regulatory mutations in th...
