Plasmids containing small deletions in the flaY region failed to restore to any flaY or flaE mutants the ability to swim or to assemble a flagellar filament. We show here that one of these strains has a mutation in a homolog of the Escherichia coli secA gene, whose product is involved in protein translocation at the cell membrane. Natl. A., Ryan, K. R., Shapiro, L., McAdams, H. H. The bifunctional FtsK protein mediates chromosome partitioning and cell division in Caulobacter, DnaA couples DNA replication and the expression of two cell cycle master regulators, Cytokinesis signals truncation of the PodJ polarity factor by a cell cycle-regulated protease. We are using full genome sequence and microarray technology to identify the genetic circuitry that controls the cell cycle in a bacterial cell with 3767 genes. The transcription of gyrB and orf1 occurs from the replication-competent chromosome in stalked and predivisional cells and is silenced in swarmer cells. Thus, dynamic changes in subcellular location of multiple components of a signal transduction cascade may constitute a novel mode of prokaryotic regulation to generate and maintain cellular asymmetry. Several products involved in flagellar biogenesis and the chemotaxis machinery are segregated to the swarmer cell. The pattern of phospholipid synthesis during the cell cycle of Caulobacter crescentus has been determined. --Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. We annotate the position of PopZ with single-molecule localizations and confirm its position within the ribosome excluded region. Transcription initiation has been shown to occur in vitro at several sites within a cloned Caulobacter crescentus ribosomal RNA gene cluster that lacks the major promoter region 5' to the 16 S rRNA gene.

In this study, we uncovered a mechanism by which daughter cell fate, which is specified by the DivJ-DivK-PleC system and effectively encoded in the phosphorylation state of the single-domain RR DivK, is communicated to the CckA-ChpT-CtrA signaling pathway that regulates more than 100 genes for polar differentiation, replication initiation and cell division. MAY 2011: Ed Green is named Searle Scholar for 2011 Ed was selected by the Kinship Foundation and the Chicago Community Trust as one of 15 Searle Scholars for 2011. bioRxiv. AMIA Annu Symp Proc 2005;2005:684-688. Join us. The CcrM homolog of Agrobacterium tumefaciens was found to be essential for viability. Two enzymes of galactose catabolism, galactose dehydrogenase and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogalactonate aldolase, were shown to be inducible and independently regulated. The dnaA gene is preferentially transcribed from a fully methylated promoter. Cell division then yields a new swarmer cell and a stem-cell-like stalked cell. A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Guideline Adherence and Access to Expertise. Milu T. Cherian, PhD, Senior Analyst at Oncology, SmartAnalyst, Inc.

Transcripts initiating from either the P1 or the P2 promoter have an RNA leader sequence with a high probability of forming an extensive secondary structure. Phage phiCb5 was studied with respect to the physical and chemical properties of both the phage and its RNA. IS1 and IS5 appear limited to the enteric bacteria, whereas IS2 sequences can also be detected in Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Serratia marcescens. Progression of the Caulobacter cell cycle requires temporal and spatial control of gene expression, culminating in an asymmetric cell division yielding distinct daughter cells. These events are intimately coupled with the bacterial cell cycle and exhibit a previously unanticipated complexity reminiscent of eukaryotic systems. Understanding the control logic in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus has progressed to the point where we now have an integrated systems view of the operation of its entire cell cycle functioning as a state machine. Predictions from Brownian dynamics simulations of the packing of supercoiled DNA polymers in an elongated cell-like confinement are also consistent with a branched DNA structure, and simulated interloci distance distributions predict that confinement leads to "freezing" of the supercoiled configuration. We reconstituted the DivL-CckA complex on liposomes in vitro and found that DivL directly controls the CckA kinase/phosphatase switch, and that stimulation of either CckA catalytic activity depends on the second of its two PAS domains. Knowing the transcription start site enables targeted searching for regulatory-protein binding motifs in the promoter regions of genes with similar expression patterns. A revertant regains the normal structures simultaneously. Plasmid and phage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) harboring bacterial insertion sequence (IS) elements IS1, IS2, and IS5 were characterized and used as probes to detect homologous sequences in various procaryotic and eucaryotic genomes.

We demonstrate the direct binding between these three proteins and show that a polar microdomain spontaneously assembles when the three proteins are coexpressed heterologously in an Escherichia coli test system. Superresolution fluorescence microscopy and cryogenic electron tomography (CET) are powerful imaging methods for exploring the subcellular organization of biomolecules. We seek to understand the control of gene expression. We propose that disruption of the trans-envelope Tol-Pal complex releases TipN from its subcellular position.

PodJL is synthesized in the early predivisional cell and is later proteolytically converted to PodJS. Automated image acquisition and analysis allowed us to identify genes that affect the localization of two polar cell cycle histidine kinases, PleC and DivJ, and the pole-specific pili protein CpaE, each tagged with a different fluorescent marker in a single strain. Resident Biology Tutor, Leverett House, Harvard College. The phage is similar to the Escherichia coli RNA phages in that it (i) sediments at an S(20, w) of 70.6S, (ii) is composed of a single molecule of single-stranded RNA and a protein coat, (iii) contains two structural proteins, and (iv) apparently contains the genetic capacity to code for a coat protein subunit, a maturation-like protein, and an RNA polymerase. We find that the CtrA proteolysis adaptor protein PopA assumes distinct oligomeric states at the two cell poles through asymmetrically distributed c-di-GMP: dimeric at the stalked pole and monomeric at the swarmer pole. The specific features of the Caulobacter system which make it a system of choice for studies of the control of sequential events resulting in cellular differentiation can be summarized as follows. When the swarmer cell differentiated into a stalked cell, the chemoreceptor was specifically degraded by virtue of an amino acid sequence located at its carboxyl terminus. These studies provide insights into factors affecting the PleC/DivJ localization network and into regulatory links between the localization of the pili assembly protein CpaE and the kinase localization pathway.

The regulatory network that functions to control the transcription of the heat shock genes in bacteria includes unique structural motifs in the promoter region of these genes and the expression of alternate sigma factors. Deletions in the 5' region have also revealed that all cis-acting sites required for temporal control of transcription reside within 50 bases of the P2 start site. American volume -Guitton, T. G., Ring, D.2011;93 (21): 2015-2021, GAIT & POSTURE -Butler, E. E., Ladd, A. L., Louie, S. A., Lamont, L. E., Wong, W., Rose, J. Thus, CpdR function is regulated by a feedback loop that incorporates its differential phosphorylation, the transient polar localization and activity of the ClpXP protease, and the clearance of the CpdR by polar ClpXP that, in turn, releases ClpXP from the pole relieving the degradation of CtrA. Immunoprecipitation of a DnaA'-beta-lactamase fusion protein showed that although expression occurs throughout the cell cycle, there is a doubling in the rate of expression just prior to the initiation of replication. Several fla- mutants were also isolated by Tn5-VB32 mutagenesis and shown to confer kanamycin resistance. Complementarity between a region of CrfA and the terminal region of the CC3461 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) and also the behavior of a deletion of this region and a site-specific base substitution and a 3-base deletion in the CrfA complementary sequence suggest that CrfA binds to a stem-loop structure upstream of the CC3461 Shine-Dalgarno sequence and stabilizes the transcript. Mutants in flbN, flaB, flaC and flbO were unable to assemble any basal body structure and are likely to be involved in the early steps of basal body formation. The expression of NPTase II in these mutants is read from a chimeric mRNA that initiates in a chromosomal fla promoter and continues through the inserted NPTase II gene. A previously uncharacterized essential protein, MipZ, forms a complex with the partitioning protein ParB near the origin of replication and localizes with the duplicated origin regions to the cell poles.

A Polar Matrix Microdomain Constrains Diffusion and Regulates Intracellular Signaling. The actin cytoskeleton represents a key regulator of multiple essential cellular functions in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Quon, K. C., Marczynski, G. T., Shapiro, L. USE OF FLOW-CYTOMETRY TO IDENTIFY A CAULOBACTER 4.5 S RNA TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE MUTANT DEFECTIVE IN THE CELL-CYCLE, A DEVELOPMENTALLY-REGULATED CHROMOSOMAL ORIGIN OF REPLICATION USES ESSENTIAL TRANSCRIPTION ELEMENTS. Following the initiation of DNA replication, the essential CckA histidine kinase is activated by phosphorylation, which (via the ChpT phosphotransferase) enables the phosphorylation and activation of the CtrA global regulator. The first parameter correlates with genome GC content, and the second parameter correlates with context-dependent nucleotide bias. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007. Both CtrA and CpdR are phosphorylated via the same CckA histidine kinase phospho-signaling pathway, providing a reinforcing mechanism that simultaneously activates CtrA and prevents its degradation by delocalizing the CpdR/ClpXP complex. This conserved pattern is propagated during the course of DNA segregation. The derived amino acid sequence indicates that fibN encodes a 25-kilodalton protein with a cleavable leader peptide. We imaged fusions of dL5 to three different proteins in live Caulobacter cells using stimulated emission depletion microscopy, yielding a 4-fold resolution enhancement compared to diffraction-limited imaging. View details for Web of Science ID A1997YA84900001. These data imply that the reduction in survival in host cells is not due solely to a cell division defect but is due to additional functions of CcrM. The synthesis of the product of flgJ, the 29K flagellin, occurs prior to the synthesis of the other flagellin proteins. At room temperature, the ratio of roGFP2 emission brightness when excited at 425 nm or 488 nm is known to report on the local redox potential. A cyclical control circuit composed of four master regulators drives the Caulobacter cell cycle. The chemoreceptor is localized at the flagellum-bearing pole of Caulobacter crescentus swarmer cells. Health Care . A., Shapiro, L. Spatial complexity and control of a bacterial cell cycle, An antifungal agent inhibits an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase by trapping tRNA in the editing site. Each of these transcripts proved to be a de novo transcript since (a) each could be pulse labeled during the initial 20 s of the reaction and (b) each transcript contained a triphosphate at its 5' terminus. PleA is also required for the assembly of substructures of the flagellar basal body hook complex that are located in or traverse the peptidoglycan layer. Lab Objectives. The region of early phiCdl was mapped by hybridizing labeled RNA extracted from phiCdl-infected cells grown in the presence or absence of chloramphenicol to HindIII and HpaI restriction fragments of the phiCdl genome. In nature, this essential process occurs in cells that live in fluctuating environments. Stanford University, Department of Chemistry. A developmental mutant of C. crescentus with altered polar surface structures has been isolated. We have identified a conserved sequence motif that is present in the promoter of dnaX and several other genes involved in the replication of DNA, all of which show an induction of transcription at the onset of chromosome replication. View details for Web of Science ID A1990DY49600006. Both had a profound effect on the kinds of questions I posed and the means I used to arrive at answers. 2013 Chinese Academy of Sciences, Graduate Student, Biochemistry press. PleC, which is required for DivJ localization, may provide the cue at the G1-to-S transition that directs the polar positioning of DivJ. View details for DOI 10.1073/pnas.1909798116. Work from several Caulobacter labs has revealed that differentiation requires concerted regulation by several two-component system (TCS) signaling pathways that are differentially positioned at the poles of the predivisional cell (Figure 1). This enzyme, like RNase III isolated from Escherichia coli, processes precursor ribosomal RNAs and polycistronic phage mRNAs and has a monomeric Mr of approximately 20,000.
