Interaction of integration host factor from Escherichia coli with the integration region of the Haemophilus influenzae bacteriophage HP1. 下载免费PDF全文
The specific DNA-binding protein integration host factor (IHF) of Escherichia coli stimulates the site-specific recombination reaction between the attP site of bacteriophage HP1 and the attB site of its host, Haemophilus influenzae, in vitro and also appears to regulate the expression of HP1 integrase. IHF interacts specifically with DNA segments containing the att sites and the integrase regulatory region, as judged by IHF-dependent retardation of relevant DNA fragments during gel electrophoresis. The locations of the protein-binding sites were identified by DNase I protection experiments. Three sites in the HP1 attP region bound IHF, two binding sites were present in the vicinity of the attB region, and one region containing three partially overlapping sites was present in the HP1 integrase regulatory segment. The binding sites defined in these experiments all contained sequences which matched the consensus IHF binding sequences first identified in the lambda attP region. An activity which stimulated the HP1 site-specific integration reaction was found in extracts of H. influenzae, suggesting that an IHF-like protein is present in this organism. 相似文献

Protein and DNA requirements of the bacteriophage HP1 recombination system: a model for intasome formation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A fundamental step in site-specific recombination reactions involves the formation of properly arranged protein–DNA structures termed intasomes. The contributions of various proteins and DNA binding sites in the intasome determine not only whether recombination can occur, but also in which direction the reaction is likely to proceed and how fast the reaction will go. By mutating individual DNA binding sites and observing the effects of various mixtures of recombination proteins on the mutated substrates, we have begun to categorize the requirements for intasome formation in the site-specific recombination system of bacteriophage HP1. These experiments define the binding site occupancies in both integrative and excisive recombination for the three recombination proteins: HP1 integrase, HP1 Cox and IHF. This data has allowed us to create a model which explains many of the biochemical features of HP1 recombination, demonstrates the importance of intasome components on the directionality of the reaction and predicts further ways in which the role of the intasome can be explored. 相似文献

The notion that Tween 80 may be a DNA-repair inhibitor was tested with Escherichia coli. The results indicate that cell growth, colony-forming ability, and the rate and extent of removal of thymine-containing dimers from DNA are unchanged in the presence of Tween 80. We conclude that this detergent does not increase or diminish the effect of UV or gamma irradiation to bacteria. 相似文献

Constitution of the cell envelope of Haemophilus influenzae in relation to competence for genetic transformation. 总被引:11,自引:15,他引:11 下载免费PDF全文
Cell envelopes of Haemophilus influenzae have been prepared by breakage in a French pressure cell followed by differential centrifugation. The envelope fraction may be resolved into an inner-membrane (light) and an outer-membrane (heavy) fraction on density gradients. Envelopes from competent cells possess elevated levels of lipopolysaccharide with a composition different from that of log-phase cell envelopes. Three apparently new polypeptides have been observed in envelopes from competent cells by gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate; additional quantitative alterations in the profiles of membrane polypeptides also company the development of the capacity to transport deoxyribonucleic acid. Most of the polypeptide changes are confined to the outer membrane; one new polypeptide is associated with the inner cytoplasmic membrane of competent cells. Protein synthesis during competence developement is rquired for the change in lipopolysaccharides and in the envelope polypeptides to occur. 相似文献

Site-specific integration of the Haemophilus influenzae bacteriophage HP1: location of the boundaries of the phage attachment site. 下载免费PDF全文
Plasmids containing DNA segments from the attachment region of phage HP1 were constructed and tested for the ability to replace the phage attachment site substrate in site-specific recombination reactions. The distance separating the boundaries of the functional site was 418 bp. Replacements within the 11-residue segment 5'-GGCGGTTATCG at the left boundary or within the 12-residue segment 5'-GGATTTTTTGAA at the right boundary abolished substrate activity. A segment of the 418-residue sequence preserves the integrity of an operon of three Haemophilus influenzae tRNA genes after HP1 insertion within the coding sequence. 相似文献

DNA-binding proteins of Haemophilus influenzae: purification and characterization of a major intracellular binding protein 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
A heat- and acid-stable protein which bound both native and denatured DNA but not RNA was extensively purified from extracts of Haemophilus influenzae Rd strain com-58-A. The active species had an apparent subunit molecular weight of 15,000. The interaction of the protein with denatured DNA appeared to be cooperative, as judged by the sigmoid shapes of binding curves. This cooperativity increased with increasing ionic strength and was more pronounced with sodium ions than with potassium ions. Gel filtration suggested that the native protein formed aggregates in solution. The presence of the binding protein protected single-stranded DNA from the action of S1 endonuclease; approximately 30 nucleotide residues were protected per subunit equivalent of protein. The number of subunit equivalents per cell of this protein has been estimated at 10,000. The protein, which we designate DNA-binding protein II, is most probably a major histone-line protein of H. influenzae. 相似文献

Identification of methyl ethers obtained by methylation and subsequent hydrolysis is a powerful technique for determination of linkage positions in structure studies of complex carbohydrates. Although methyl ethers of neutral sugars have been separated by various chromatographic methods, separation of methyl ethers of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose has been more difficult. Only recently, successful procedures for separation of methyl ethers of d-glucosamine based on thin-layer (1), gas (2), and column (3) chromatography have appeared in literature. We wish to report here a method for separation of d-glucosamine methyl ethers using a combination of partition and ion-exchange chromatography. 相似文献
