Interaction network among Escherichia coli membrane proteins involved in cell division as revealed by bacterial two-hybrid analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Formation of the Escherichia coli division septum is catalyzed by a number of essential proteins (named Fts) that assemble into a ring-like structure at the future division site. Several of these Fts proteins are intrinsic transmembrane proteins whose functions are largely unknown. Although these proteins appear to be recruited to the division site in a hierarchical order, the molecular interactions underlying the assembly of the cell division machinery remain mostly unspecified. In the present study, we used a bacterial two-hybrid system based on interaction-mediated reconstitution of a cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling cascade to unravel the molecular basis of septum assembly by analyzing the protein interaction network among E. coli cell division proteins. Our results indicate that the Fts proteins are connected to one another through multiple interactions. A deletion mapping analysis carried out with two of these proteins, FtsQ and FtsI, revealed that different regions of the polypeptides are involved in their associations with their partners. Furthermore, we showed that the association between two Fts hybrid proteins could be modulated by the coexpression of a third Fts partner. Altogether, these data suggest that the cell division machinery assembly is driven by the cooperative association among the different Fts proteins to form a dynamic multiprotein structure at the septum site. In addition, our study shows that the cAMP-based two-hybrid system is particularly appropriate for analyzing molecular interactions between membrane proteins. 相似文献

Expression of virulence-associated genes in Bordetella pertussis is under the control of the pleiotropic regulator BvgA. Although previous studies have identified recognition sequences for BvgA in several promoter regions, their structures have not been clearly characterized. We show that the BvgA binding sites within the bvgp(1) and cyaA promoters consist of inverted repeats and suggest that inverted-repeat motifs may represent the recognition elements for DNA-BvgA interaction. 相似文献

The effect of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species on lux-biosensors based on the Escherichia coli K12 MG1655 and Salmonella typhimurium LT2 host strains was investigated. The bioactivity of exogenous free radicals to the constitutively luminescent E. coli strain with plasmid pXen7 decreased in the order H2O2 > OCl– > NO? > RОO? > ONOO–> O2?- while the bioluminescence of S. typhimurium strain transformed with this plasmid decreased in the order NO? > H2O2 > ONOO– > RОO? > OCl– > O2?- The cross-reactivity of induced lux-biosensors to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, the threshold sensitivity and the luminescence amplitude dependences from the plasmid specificity and the host strain were indicated. The biosensors with plasmid pSoxS′::lux possessed a wider range of sensitivity, including H2O2 and OCl–, along with O2?- and NO?. Among the used reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, H2O2 showed the highest induction activity concerning to the plasmids pKatG′::lux, pSoxS′::lux and pRecA′::lux. The inducible lux-biosensors based on S. typhimurium host strain possessed a higher sensitivity to the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in comparison with the E. coli lux-biosensors. 相似文献

High-molecular weight chitosan (200 kDa, 75% deacetylated) and N-succinoyl chitosan (300 kDa, 75% deacetylated) were shown to have a preadaptive effect and increase the lifespan of honeybees due to the induction of protective antioxidant and immune mechanisms. Chitosan with a molecular weight of 200 kDa had a fungistatic effect on a pathogenic fungus that causes ascospherosis, a disease of bee larvae and pupae. 相似文献

We have recently developed a bacterial two-hybrid system (BACTH), based on functional complementation between two fragments of the catalytic domain of Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase (AC), that allows an easy in vivo screening and selection of functional interactions between two proteins in Escherichia coli. In this work, we have further explored the potentialities of the BACTH system to study protein-protein interactions, using as a model, the interactions between various subdomains of the dimeric tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) of Bacillus stearothermophilus. Using the BACTH system we confirmed the known interactions of the alpha/beta domains and those between the alpha/beta domain and the alpha domain that could be anticipated from the three-dimensional structure of TyrRS. Interestingly, the BACTH system revealed the unexpected interaction between the TyrRS alpha domains which is presumably mediated by a pseudo-leucine zipper motif. This study illustrates the interest of the bacterial two-hybrid system to delineate interacting domains of proteins and shows that it can reveal interactions that occur in vivo and that were not anticipated from the three-dimensional structure of the protein of interest. 相似文献

Changes in tyrosine phosphorylation of soluble polypeptides of pea (Pisum sativum L.) roots were revealed under the action of exogenous hydrogen peroxide in situ and in vitro. The polypeptides whose tyrosine phosphorylation in situ was vanadate-sensitive were identified. A thiol agent dithiothreitol and the antioxidant ascorbic acid reversed the effect of hydrogen peroxide in vitro. The results indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation of pea proteins is a subject to redox regulation. 相似文献

The protease (PR) from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is essential for viral replication: this aspartyl protease, active only as a dimer, is responsible for cleavage of the viral polyprotein precursors (Gag and Gag-Pol), to release the functional mature proteins. In this work, we have studied the structure-function relationships of the HIV PR by combining a genetic test to detect proteolytic activity in Escherichia coli and a bacterial two-hybrid assay to analyze PR dimerization. We showed that a drug-resistant PR variant isolated from a patient receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy is impaired in its dimerization capability and, as a consequence, is proteolytically inactive. We further showed that the polypeptide regions adjacent to the PR coding sequence in the Gag-Pol polyprotein precursor, and in particular, the transframe polypeptide (TF), located at the N terminus of PR, can facilitate the dimerization of this variant PR and restore its enzymatic activity. We propose that the TF protein could help to compensate for folding and/or dimerization defects in PR arising from certain mutations within the PR coding sequence and might therefore function to buffer genetic variations in PR. 相似文献

Results of 20 cenopopulation (CP) studies for Althaeae officinalis L. (a rare species in the Republic of Bashkortostan (RB)) in the northern border of its habitat are shown. The demographic structure, morphometric parameters, and individual life states are studied; life optima are shown. Most CPs of A. officinalis under study have low density (1–4 individual/m2) and an incomplete ontogenetic spectrum. The vitality type of A. officinalis CP changes from florescent to depressive. Ecological and phenocenotic optima are generally not the same in CPs. Optimal conditions for A. officinalis growth are reed littoral communities at the periphery of Phragmites australis underbrush; in communities disturbed by pasture, a decline in the state of A. officinalis CP is observed. 相似文献
