Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2018 The current study was aimed to detect the existence of genes encode outer membrane proteins: transfer protein (traT) and increased serum survival (iss ) which associated with resistance to complement bacterial lysis activity in different ...

Evolution of the iss Gene in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT The increased serum survival gene iss has long been recognized for its role in extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) virulence. iss has been identified as a distinguishing trait of avian ExPEC but not of human ExPEC.

Contributions of traT and iss genes to the serum resistance phenotype of plasmid ColV2-K94 [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1986 Abstract A genetic determinant for serum resistance, designated iss , has been found previously on the colicinogenic plasmid ColV2-K94. In this work we have identified a second serum resistance gene, traT, on ColV2-K94. The serum resistance mediated by derivatives of ColV2-K94 was due to presence of one or both of the iss and traT genes ...

Genome Plasticity by Insertion Sequences Learned From a Case of Radiation-Resistant Bacterium
Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2021 The genome of the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus geothermalis contains 19 types of insertion sequences (ISs), including 93 total transposases (Tpases) in 73 full-length ISs from the main chromosome and 2 mega plasmids.

Drosophila GENE Experiment in the Spanish Soyuz Mission to the ISS: II. Effects of the Containment Constraints [PDF]
Microgravity Science and Technology, 2008 6 páginas, 2 figuras, 1 tabla -- PAGS nros. 299-304 In the GENE experiment performed during an 11-day Soyuz Mission to the International Space Station (ISS), we intended to determine if microgravity affects Drosophila metamorphosis processes. Control experiments were performed including a 1g ground control parallel to the ISS flight samples and a ...

Insertion sequence transposition inactivates CRISPR-Cas immunity
Nature Communications, 2023 CRISPR-Cas immunity systems safeguard prokaryotic genomes by inhibiting the invasion of mobile genetic elements. Here, we screened prokaryotic genomic sequences and identified multiple natural transpositions of insertion sequences (ISs) into cas genes ...
