Enzymes are enriched in bacterial essential genes.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Essential genes, those indispensable for the survival of an organism, play a key role in the emerging field, synthetic biology. Characterization of functions encoded by essential genes not only has important practical implications, such as in identifying

Persistence and plasticity in bacterial gene regulation [PDF]
Nature Methods, 2021 Organisms orchestrate cellular functions through transcription factor (TF) interactions with their target genes, although these regulatory relationships are largely unknown in most species. Here we report a high-throughput approach for characterizing TF-target gene interactions across species and its application to 354 TFs across 48 bacteria ...

Patterns of Bacterial Gene Movement [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2004 Lateral gene transfer has emerged as an important force in bacterial evolution. A substantial number of genes can be inserted into or deleted from genomes through the process of lateral transfer. In this study, we looked for atypical occurrence of genes among related organisms to detect laterally transferred genes.

The fate of new bacterial genes [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2009 Bacteria experience a continual influx of novel genetic material from a wide range of sources and yet their genomes remain relatively small. This aspect of bacterial evolution indicates that most newly arriving sequences are rapidly eliminated; however, numerous new genes persist, as evident from the presence of unique genes in almost all bacterial ...

Bacterial gene therapy strategies [PDF]
The Journal of Pathology, 2005 AbstractThe ability of bacteria to mediate gene transfer has only recently been established and these observations have led to the utilization of various bacterial strains in gene therapy. The types of bacteria used include attenuated strains of Salmonella, Shigella, Listeria, and Yersinia, as well as non‐pathogenic Escherichia coli.

eLife, 2014 Bacteria have to avoid recognition by the host immune system in order to establish a successful infection. Peptidoglycan, the principal constituent of virtually all bacterial surfaces, is a specific molecular signature recognized by dedicated host ...

The coevolution of toxin and antitoxin genes drives the dynamics of bacterial addiction complexes and intragenomic conflict [PDF]
, 2012 Bacterial genomes commonly contain 'addiction' gene complexes that code for both a toxin and a corresponding antitoxin. As long as both genes are expressed, cells carrying the complex can remain healthy.

Gene-for-Gene Tolerance to Bacterial Wilt in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions®, 2013 Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a disease of widespread economic importance that affects numerous plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana. We describe a pathosystem between A. thaliana and biovar 3 phylotype I strain BCCF402 of R. solanacearum isolated from Eucalyptus trees. A.

Codon Usage Domains over Bacterial Chromosomes [PDF]
, 2006 The geography of codon bias distributions over prokaryotic genomes and its impact upon chromosomal organization are analyzed. To this aim, we introduce a clustering method based on information theory, specifically designed to cluster genes according to ...
