Summary The tppB locus of Salmonella typhimurium encodes the anaerobically-induced tripeptide permease. We have demonstrated that expression of tppB requires the function of the ompR and envZ gene products, originally identified as positive regulatory proteins required for the osmotic regulation of porin expression. Significantly, tppB expression is not osmotically regulated. We have also identified three additional genes whose expression depends on OmpR. Thus OmpR and EnvZ serve a more general regulatory role than has previously been supposed. This study provides the first detailed genetic analysis of the ompB locus of S. typhimurium. 相似文献

Escherichia coli K-12 produces both the OmpF and OmpC porins, the relative amounts of which in the outer membrane are affected in a reciprocal manner by the osmolarity of the growth medium. In contrast, E. coli B produces only the OmpF porin, regardless of the medium osmolarity. In this study, it was revealed that there is an extensive deletion within the ompC locus of the E. coli B chromosome. Cloning and nucleotide sequencing of the regulatory gene, ompR , of E. coli B revealed that there are two amino acid alterations (Lys-6 to Asn and Ala-130 to Thr) in the amino acid sequence of the OmpR protein, as compared with that of E. coli K-12. It is suggested that these particular amino acid alterations are responsible for the constitutive expression of the ompF gene observed in E. coli B. 相似文献

Various environmental signals control the expression of the virulence factors in pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica strains. The role of the osmotic regulator OmpR protein in controlling the production of Yop proteins, virulence determinants in Y. enterocolitica O:9 (European type) has been studied. An ompR deletion mutant was constructed via allelic exchange with an ompR gene of Y. enterocolitica mutagenized in vitro by a reverse genetic polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based strategy. The ompR mutant showed a reduced ability to survive under conditions of various environmental stresses in vitro. In particular, low pH stress resulted in increased cell mortality levels. Under conditions of high osmolarity, the wild strain's Yop protein production was reduced, whereas protein levels from the mutant strain remained constant regardless of osmolarity variance. In J774A.1 macrophage cell culture survival of the ompR mutant was decidedly lower than that of the wild-type strain, suggesting that the OmpR protein may play a significant role in protecting cells against intracellular conditions associated with macrophage phagocytosis. 相似文献

Novel carbonyl-stabilized bis-sulfonium ylids I, II and III, were synthesized for the purpose of revealing their physicochemical properties as well as exploiting their synthetic application. The treatment of these ylides with phenylisocyanate gave stable bis-carbamoyl sulfomum ylids. The reaction with some α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds resulted in the Michael type addition to afford the corresponding bis-cyclopropane derivatives. The solvent polarity dependence of stereochemistry of the cyclopropane formation was observed in the reaction of ylids with chalcone. 相似文献

The OmpR/PhoB subfamily protein GlnR of actinomycetes is an orphan response regulator that globally coordinates the expression of genes related to nitrogen metabolism. Biochemical and genetic analyses reveal that the functional GlnR from Amycolatopsis mediterranei is unphosphorylated at the potential phosphorylation Asp50 residue in the N-terminal receiver domain. The crystal structure of this receiver domain demonstrates that it forms a homodimer through the α4-β5-α5 dimer interface highly similar to the phosphorylated typical response regulator, whereas the so-called “phosphorylation pocket” is not conserved, with its space being occupied by an Arg52 from the β3-α3 loop. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirm that GlnR forms a functional homodimer via its receiver domain and suggest that the charge interactions of Asp50 with the highly conserved Arg52 and Thr9 in the receiver domain may be crucial in maintaining the proper conformation for homodimerization, as also supported by molecular dynamics simulations of the wild type GlnR versus the deficient mutant GlnR(D50A). This model is backed by the distinct phenotypes of the total deficient GlnR(R52A/T9A) double mutant versus the single mutants of GlnR (i.e. D50N, D50E, R52A and T9A), which have only minor effects upon both dimerization and physiological function of GlnR in vivo, albeit their DNA binding ability is weakened compared with that of the wild type. By integrating the supportive data of GlnRs from the model Streptomyces coelicolor and the pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we conclude that the actinomycete GlnR is atypical with respect to its unphosphorylated conserved Asp residue being involved in the critical Arg/Asp/Thr charge interactions, which is essential for maintaining the biologically active homodimer conformation. 相似文献

An initial biochemical characterization of the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi ( S . Typhi) EnvZ sensor protein and several mutant derivatives was performed. Autophosphorylation levels were higher for Escherichia coli EnvZ, intermediate for S. enterica serovar Typhimurium EnvZ and very low for S . Typhi EnvZ, in spite of their high amino acid sequence identity. Consequently, OmpR phosphorylation was related to EnvZ autophosphorylation. Among the mutant derivatives, a C354G mutation in S . Typhi EnvZ resulted in a substantial increase in autophosphorylation, while mutation of its other cysteine residue at position 277 to L or S decreased the EnvZ autophosphorylation level. Upon heterodimerization, the S . Typhi C354G mutant complemented the wild type in vitro , increasing the EnvZ-P yield of both monomers, in accordance with the model where EnvZ autophosphorylation occurs in trans , indicating that dimer formation is a dynamic process. Hence, the C354 and the C277 residues are fundamental in determining the particular intrinsic biochemical characteristics of EnvZ. 相似文献
