Temperature-dependent variation in the extent of methylation of ribosomal proteins L7 and L12 in Escherichia coli.
نویسنده
چکیده
The amount of epsilon-N-monomethyllysine in ribosomal proteins L7 and L12 in Escherichia coli is dependent upon the cell growth temperature. At 37 degrees C or above, very small amounts were detected. Dramatic increase in the content of epsilon-N-monomethyllysine in these proteins was observed when the growth temperature was lowered.

High Level Expression of Recombinant Ribosomal Protein (L7/L12) from Brucella abortus and Its Reaction with Infected Human Sera
Brucellosis, caused by Brucella spp., is an important zoonotic disease that causes abortion and infertility in cattle and undulant fever in humans. Various studies have examined cell-free native and recombinant proteins as candidate protective antigens in animal models. Among Brucella immunogenes, antigen based on ribosomal preparation has been widely investigated. In this study, the immunogeni...

Background: The immunogenic Brucella abortus ribosomal protein L7/L12 is a promising candidate antigen for the development of subunit vaccines against brucellosis. Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the protection of recombinant Human Serum Albumin (HAS)-L7/L12 fusion protein in Balb/c mice. Methods: The amplified L7/L12 gene was cloned in pYHSA5 vector, pYHSA5-L7/L12 construct was tra...
متن کاملNew chromosomal location for structural genes of ribosomal proteins.
An Escherichia coli mutant, ts9, previously reported by Flaks et al. (Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 31, 623-631, 1966) to have an electrophoretically altered ribosomal protein, has been further characterized and the altered component has been identified as L7/L12. Although mutant ts9 is temperature sensitive for growth (rts-), the rts and L7/L12 mutations are genetically separable and a...
متن کاملCorrelating the chemical modification of Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins with crystal structure data.
Various chemical modifications have been applied to study protein structures. In this paper, amidination of E. coli ribosomal proteins was investigated to profile the structure of this large protein/RNA complex. The extent of ribosomal protein amidination was correlated with the solvent accessibility of amine groups in E. coli ribosome crystal structures. The modification of many residues was c...
متن کاملEscherichia coli ribosomal protein L10 is rapidly degraded when synthesized in excess of ribosomal protein L7/L12.
In Escherichia coli the genes encoding ribosomal proteins L10 and L7/12, rplJ and rplL, respectively, are cotranscribed and subject to translational coupling. Synthesis of both proteins is coordinately regulated at the translational level by binding of L10 or a complex of L10 and L7/L12 to a single target in the mRNA leader region upstream of rplJ. Unexpectedly, small deletions that inactivated...
