The nucleotide sequence of the promoter region and the first five genes of the atp (or unc) operon of Escherichia coli has been determined. The first proposed gene in the operon contains four AUA codons and may be poorly expressed; it encodes a basic but yet hydrophobic protein which could function as a pilot protein for assembly of ATP-synthase. The three genes that follow are structural genes for proteins comprising the proton channel of the enzyme. The fifth gene codes for the delta-subunit of F(1)-ATPase. 相似文献

Plantaricin 423 is a class IIa bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from sorghum beer. It has been previously determined that plantaricin 423 is encoded by a plasmid designated pPLA4, which is now completely sequenced. The plantaricin 423 operon shares high sequence similarity with the operons of coagulin, pediocin PA-1, and pediocin AcH, with small differences in the DNA sequence encoding the mature bacteriocin peptide and the immunity protein. Apart from the bacteriocin operon, no significant sequence similarity could be detected between the DNA or translated sequence of pPLA4 and the available DNA or translated sequences of the plasmids encoding pediocin AcH, pediocin PA-1, and coagulin, possibly indicating a different origin. In addition to the bacteriocin operon, sequence analysis of pPLA4 revealed the presence of two open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1 encodes a putative mobilization (Mob) protein that is homologous to the pMV158 superfamily of mobilization proteins. Highest sequence similarity occurred between this protein and the Mob protein of L. plantarum NCDO 1088. ORF2 encodes a putative replication protein that revealed low sequence similarity to replication proteins of plasmids pLME300 from Lactobacillus fermentum and pYIT356 from Lactobacillus casei. The immunity protein of plantaricin 423 contains 109 amino acids. Although plantaricin 423 shares high sequence similarity with the pediocin PA-1 operon, no cross-reactivity was recorded between the immunity proteins of plantaricin 423 and pediocin PA-1. 相似文献

The kps locus for polysialic acid capsule expression in Escherichia coli K1 is composed of a central group of biosynthetic neu genes, designated region 2, flanked on either side by region 1 or region 3 kps genes with poorly defined functions. Chromosomal mutagenesis with MudJ and subsequent complementation analysis, maxicell and in vitro protein expression studies, and nucleotide sequencing identified the region 1 gene, kpsE, which encodes a 39-kDa polypeptide. Polarity of the kpsE::lacZ mutation suggests an operonic structure for region 1. KpsE is homologous to putative polysaccharide-translocation components previously identified in Haemophilus influenzae type b and Neisseria meningitidis group B. An open reading frame upstream of kpsE encodes a 35-kDa polypeptide with homology to GutQ, a putative ATP-binding protein of unknown function encoded by gutQ of the glucitol utilization operon. Whether expression of the gutQ homolog as the potential first gene of region 1 is required for polysialic acid synthesis or localization is presently unknown. 相似文献

The sequence of a 2,437-bp DNA segment from the naphthalene upper catabolic pathway operon of plasmid NAH7 was determined. This segment contains three large open reading frames designated nahQ', nahE, and nahD. The first of these is the 3' end of an open reading frame that has no known function, the second (993 bp) encodes trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase (deduced molecular weight, 36,640), and the third (609 bp) encodes 2-hydroxychromene-2-carboxylate isomerase (deduced molecular weight, 23,031). This DNA has a high degree of sequence homology (greater than 91% for the first 2161 bp) with a DNA segment from the dox (dibenzothiophene oxidation) operon of Pseudomonas sp. strain C18, which encodes a pathway analogous to that encoded by NAH7. However, 84 bp downstream from nahD, the last gene in the nah operon, this homology ends. This 84-bp sequence at the downstream end of nah and dox homology has 76% homology to a sequence that occurs just upstream of the nah promoter in NAH7. These directly repeated 84-bp sequences thus encompass the upper-pathway nah operon and constitute the ends of a highly conserved region. 相似文献

The pdu operon encodes proteins for the catabolism of 1,2-propanediol; the nearby cob operon encodes enzymes for the biosynthesis of adenosyl-cobalamin (vitamin B12), a cofactor required for the use of propanediol. These operons are transcribed divergently from distinct promoters separated by several kilobases. The regulation of the two operons is tightly integrated in that both require the positive activator protein PocR and both are subject to global control by the Crp and ArcA proteins. We have determined the DNA nucleotide sequences of the promoter-proximal portion of the pdu operon and the region between the pdu and cob operons. Four open reading frames have been identified, pduB, pduA, pduF, and pocR. The pduA and pduB genes are the first two genes of the pdu operon (transcribed clockwise). The pduA gene encodes a hydrophobic protein with 56% amino acid identity to a 10.9-kDa protein which serves as a component of the carboxysomes of several photosynthetic bacteria. The pduF gene encodes a hydrophobic protein with a strong similarity to the GlpF protein of Escherichia coli, which facilitates the diffusion of glycerol. The N-terminal end of the PduF protein includes a motif for a membrane lipoprotein-lipid attachment site as well as a motif characteristic of the MIP (major intrinsic protein) family of transmembrane channel proteins. We presume that the PduF protein facilitates the diffusion of propanediol. The pocR gene encodes the positive regulatory protein of the cob and pdu operons and shares the helix-turn-helix DNA binding motif of the AraC family of regulatory proteins. The mutations cobR4 and cobR58 cause constitutive, pocR-independent expression of the cob operon under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Evidence that each mutation is a deletion creating a new promoter near the normal promoter site of the cob operon is presented. 相似文献

The recR gene of Escherichia coli, which is associated with recBC-independent mechanisms of recombination and DNA repair, has been located between dnaZX and htpG on a 6.4 kb EcoRI fragment of DNA that has been cloned and analysed in lambda and plasmid vectors. Nucleotide sequencing of this interval revealed two open reading frames that constitute an operon lying immediately downstream of dnaZX. The second of these two reading frames was identified as recR. It encodes a polypeptide with a predicted molecular weight of 21,965 Daltons that migrates on SDS gels as a 26 kDa protein. The first gene of the operon encodes a polypeptide of 12,015 daltons. Its function is not known. 相似文献

We identified an operon in Listeria monocytogenes EGD with high levels of sequence similarity to the operons encoding the OpuC and OpuB compatible solute transporters from Bacillus subtilis, which are members of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) substrate binding protein-dependent transporter superfamily. The operon, designated opuC, consists of four genes which are predicted to encode an ATP binding protein (OpuCA), an extracellular substrate binding protein (OpuCC), and two membrane-associated proteins presumed to form the permease (OpuCB and OpuCD). The operon is preceded by a potential SigB-dependent promoter. An opuC-defective mutant was generated by the insertional inactivation of the opuCA gene. The mutant was impaired for growth at high osmolarity in brain heart infusion broth and failed to grow in a defined medium. Supplementation of the defined medium with peptone restored the growth of the mutant in this medium. The mutant was found to accumulate the compatible solutes glycine betaine and choline to same extent as the parent strain but was defective in the uptake of L-carnitine. We conclude that the opuC operon in L. monocytogenes encodes an ABC compatible solute transporter which is capable of transporting L-carnitine and which plays an important role in osmoregulation in this pathogen. 相似文献

Using a newly constructed minitransposon with a phoA reporter gene in a Salmonella enteritidis phoN mutant, we have identified an iron- and pH-inducible lipoprotein gene sfbA, which is a component of a novel ABC-type transporter system required for virulence. This gene is located on a 4 kb Salmonella-specific chromosomal segment, which constitutes a new pathogenicity islet. This islet encodes an outer membrane protein, OmpX, and contains the operon designated sfbABC (Salmonella ferric binding) encoding a putative periplasmic iron-binding lipoprotein SfbA, a nucleotide-binding ATPase SfbB and a cytoplasmic permease SfbC, as predicted by their characteristic signature sequences. Inactivation of the sfbA gene resulted in a mutant that is avirulent and induces protective immunity in BALB/c mice. The wild-type phenotype could be restored by in vivo complementation with the sfbABC operon. This novel transporter might be involved in iron uptake in Salmonella. 相似文献
