Survival of these phenotypically resistant cells, 69 commonly called persisters, depends on the SOS gene network. We have examined 70 mutants in all known SOS-regulated genes to identify functions essential for tolerance in 71 Escherichia coli. The absence of DinG and UvrD helicases and Holliday junction 72 processing enzymes RuvA and RuvB lead to a decrease in survival. Analysis of the 73 respective mutants indicates that in addition to repair of double strand breaks, tolerance 74 depends on the repair of collapsed replication forks and stalled transcription complexes.

  • Management of E. Coli Sister Chromatid Cohesion in Response to Genotoxic Stress
    ARTICLE Received 1 Oct 2016 | Accepted 13 Jan 2017 | Published 6 Mar 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14618 OPEN Management of E. coli sister chromatid cohesion in response to genotoxic stress Elise Vickridge1,2,3, Charlene Planchenault1, Charlotte Cockram1, Isabel Garcia Junceda1 & Olivier Espe´li1 Aberrant DNA replication is a major source of the mutations and chromosomal rearrange- ments associated with pathological disorders. In bacteria, several different DNA lesions are repaired by homologous recombination, a process that involves sister chromatid pairing. Previous work in Escherichia coli has demonstrated that sister chromatid interactions (SCIs) mediated by topological links termed precatenanes, are controlled by topoisomerase IV. In the present work, we demonstrate that during the repair of mitomycin C-induced lesions, topological links are rapidly substituted by an SOS-induced sister chromatid cohesion process involving the RecN protein. The loss of SCIs and viability defects observed in the absence of RecN were compensated by alterations in topoisomerase IV, suggesting that the main role of RecN during DNA repair is to promote contacts between sister chromatids. RecN also modulates whole chromosome organization and RecA dynamics suggesting that SCIs significantly contribute to the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). 1 Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Biology (CIRB), Colle`ge de France, UMR CNRS-7241, INSERM U1050, PSL Research University, 11 place Marcelin Berthelot, 75005 Paris, France. 2 Universite´ Paris-Saclay, 91400 Orsay, France. 3 Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer, 75013 Paris, France.

This modification is called Fic-mediated Adenylylation or AMPylation. We previously reported that the human Fic protein, HYPE/FicD, is a novel regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR) that maintains homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in response to stress from misfolded proteins. Specifically, HYPE regulates UPR by adenylylating the ER chaperone, BiP/GRP78, which serves as a sentinel for UPR activation. Maintaining ER homeostasis is critical for determining cell fate, thus highlighting the importance of the HYPE-BiP interaction. Here, we study the kinetic and structural parameters that determine the HYPE-BiP interaction.

  • Post-Translational Modifications in Microbiology
    Post-translational Modifications in Microbiology MCB 6937 Sections 03B2 (online) and 03A6 (on campus) Summer C 2017 Rationale for course The overall goal of this class is to enhance student learning in the field of microbiology and to network students with professionals within the scientific community. To this end, the course will take an innovative approach to student learning through interactive group projects. The students will prepare projects that will undergo a scientific review by their class peers and faculty instructors. Projects that pass the scientific review process will be made publicly available through Canvas with the ultimate-goal to provide a searchable web portal of post-translational modifications in microbiology. While proteomics and other systems biology approaches have facilitated the identification of a wide-variety of novel post-translational modifications, high-throughput data related to these modifications are 1 not well synthesized and readily available to the scientific community (particularly data related to bacteria and archaea). This course will therefore serve as a resource to the scientific community. Students in the group will benefit from being listed as co-authors on the projects (with student permission). In addition to synthesizing published research findings, the group projects will require students to think ‘outside the box’ and develop innovative proposals that take advantage of post-translational modifications to improve human health and the food, agricultural, and natural resources. Overall, this course is designed to provide an opportunity for students to not only learn about how post- translational modifications work but also how they can be of service to their profession and community.

  • Stadtman How to Control the Production of Amino Acids How to Control the Production of Amino Acids?
    Stadtman How to Control the Production of Amino Acids How to Control the Production of Amino Acids? In 1960, Earl went on sabbatical leave to Europe, and this turned out to be a fruitful research experience. Working in Feodor Lynen's laboratory in Munich for half a year, Earl discovered a biochemical reaction dependent upon the vitamin B12—coenzyme. Subsequently, at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, he collaborated with Georges Cohen and others on investigating the regulation of activities of aspartokinase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of aspa rtate, an amino acid, to its phosphate derivative. At that time it was well known that this conversion was the first common step in a "branched pathway" that led to the biosynthesis of three different amino acids-lysine, threonine, and methionine. (A typical example of the branched pathway where A is a precursor for the biosynthesis of three different products, X, Y, and Z. These products may inhibit individually the first common step of A to B). Earl and his collaborators separated two different kinds of aspartokinase from E. coli extracts and obtained evidence suggesting the existence of still another. They further demonstrated that each one of these multiple enzymes can be regulated individually by a particular product of one of the branches in the pathway. Since amino acids are the building blocks of protein, they are readily obtained in the process of digesting or degrading protein supplied by foods. But the organism is also capable of synthesizing amino acids from other molecules. For example, bacteria such as E. coli can make the entire basic set of amino acids.

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Vol. 66, No. 2, pp. 564-571, June 1970 Ability of Nonenzymic Nitration or Acetylation of E. coli Glutamine Synthetase to Produce Effects Analogous to Enzymic Adenylylation Filiberto Cimino,* Wayne B. Anderson,t and E. R. Stadtmant NATIONAL HEART AND LUNG INSTITUTE, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, BETHESDA, MARYLAND Communicated March 6, 1970 Abstract. Treatment of unadenylylated glutamine synthetase from Esche- richia coli with tetranitromethane or with N-acetylimidazole produces alterations in catalytic parameters that are similar to alterations caused by the physio- logically important process of adenylylation. All three modification reactions lead to a change in divalent ion requirement for biosynthetic activity; the un- modified enzyme requires M1g'+ for activity, whereas the modified enzymes ex- hibit increased activity with Mn2+. The y-glutamyl transferase activity of the modified enzyme is more sensitive to feedback inhibitionbytryptophan, histidine, CTP, and AMP, and to inhibition by Mg2+ or to inactivation by 5 AI urea. Fi- nally, the pH optimum for the unmodified enzyme is 7.9, while the modified en- zymes are more active at pH 6.8. Since treatment of the enzyme with N-acetylimidazole results in a decrease in absorbancy at 278 mAu and treatment with tetranitromethane causes an increase in absorbancy at 428 m~i, the effects of these reagents are probably due to modi- fication of certain tyrosyl groups on the enzyme. However, other evidence indicates that the tyrosyl residues which

  • Association of Mutation Patterns in Gyra and Parc Genes with Quinolone Resistance Levels in Lactic Acid Bacteria
    The Journal of Antibiotics (2015) 68, 81–87 & 2015 Japan Antibiotics Research Association All rights reserved 0021-8820/15 www.nature.com/ja ORIGINAL ARTICLE Association of mutation patterns in GyrA and ParC genes with quinolone resistance levels in lactic acid bacteria Shaoying Li1,5, Zhen Li1,5, Wan Wei2, Chunyan Ma1, Xiaomin Song1, Shufen Li3, Wenying He4, Jianjun Tian1 and Xiaoyan Huo1 The quinolone resistance of 19 lactic acid bacterial strains belonging to the genera Enterococcus and Lactobacillus isolated from the natural fermented koumiss and yoghurt were investigated. The objective of this study was to determine the quinolone resistance levels and to explore the association of the resistance with the mutation patterns in gyrA and parC genes, as is currently recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization Joint Expert Committee in Guidelines for Evaluation of Probiotics in Food for probiotic lactic acid bacteria drug resistance in 2001. The Oxford Cup method and double-tube dilution method were used to determine the quinolone resistance levels of the isolated strains. Generally, all of the 19 strains showed resistance towards norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin when the Oxford cup method was used, whereas the incidence was lower (to norfloxacin 89.5% and to ciprofloxacin 68.4%) when minimum inhibitory concentration breakpoints (CLSI M100-S23) were tested. Furthermore, gene sequencing was conducted on gyrA and parC of topoisomerase II of these isolated strains. The genetic basis for quinolone resistance may be closely related to mutations in gyrA genes as there were 10 mutation sites in amino-acid sequences encoded by gyrA genes in 10 quinolone resistance strains and 14 mutation sites in Enterococcus durans HZ28, whereas no typical mutations were detected in parC genes.

  • Topoisomerase IV, Not Gyrase, Decatenates Products of Site-Specific Recombination in Escherichia Coli
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 3, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Topoisomerase IV, not gyrase, decatenates products of site-specific recombination in Escherichia coli E. Lynn Zechiedrich,1,3 Arkady B. Khodursky,2 and Nicholas R. Cozzarelli1,4 1Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and 2Graduate Group in Biophysics, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720-3204 USA DNA replication and recombination generate intertwined DNA intermediates that must be decatenated for chromosome segregation to occur. We showed recently that topoisomerase IV (topo IV) is the only important decatenase of DNA replication intermediates in bacteria. Earlier results, however, indicated that DNA gyrase has the primary role in unlinking the catenated products of site-specific recombination. To address this discordance, we constructed a set of isogenic strains that enabled us to inhibit selectively with the quinolone norfloxacin topo IV, gyrase, both enzymes, or neither enzyme in vivo. We obtained identical results for the decatenation of the products of two different site-specific recombination enzymes, phage l integrase and transposon Tn3 resolvase. Norfloxacin blocked decatenation in wild-type strains, but had no effect in strains with drug-resistance mutations in both gyrase and topo IV. When topo IV alone was inhibited, decatenation was almost completely blocked. If gyrase alone were inhibited, most of the catenanes were unlinked. We showed that topo IV is the primary decatenase in vivo and that this function is dependent on the level of DNA supercoiling. We conclude that the role of gyrase in decatenation is to introduce negative supercoils into DNA, which makes better substrates for topo IV.
