Transient repression of the lac operon — the effect of a lac promoter deletion [PDF]
Experiments have been done to show whether the lac promoter delection L1, which partly alleviates catabolite repression, also affects transient repression of lac. In stain L1/F′M15 all of the β‐galactosidase is synthesized from a chromosomal gene cis to L1, whereas 98% of the thiogalactosidase transacetylase is synthesized from an episomal gene cis to ...

Polycistronic Effects of Catabolite Repression on the lac Operon [PDF]
The catabolite repression caused by glucose and glucose-6-phosphate has been studied for both β-galactosidase and thiogalactoside transacetylase, the products of the operator proximal and distal cistrons of the lac operon, respectively. We find that both cistrons are affected coordinately by this form of repression.

Sigma Factors as Potential Targets to Enhance Recombinant Protein Expression
ABSTRACT The transcriptional factors control the expression of many genes and represent an important layer of complexity in cell factories. However, the effect of individual sigma factor deletions from a biomanufacturing perspective has not been addressed. In this contribution, growth, green fluorescence protein (GFP) expression, and oxygen consumption

Quantitative Characterization of Combinatorial Transcriptional Control of the Lactose Operon of E. coli [PDF]
It is the goal of systems biology to understand the behavior of the whole in terms of the knowledge of the parts. This is hard to achieve in many cases due to the difficulty of characterizing the many constituents and their complex web of interactions ...

Chromosome bridge resolution during mitosis is influenced by the length of the bridging chromatin. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we engineered chromosome bridges with precisely defined intercentromeric distances. Results on the progression of these bridges during mitosis revealed that longer bridges require greater kinetochore separation to break than shorter ...

Bacterial chromosomes are organized into polycistronic cotranscribed operons, but the evolutionary pressures maintaining them are unclear. We hypothesized that operons alter gene expression noise characteristics, resulting in selection for or against ...

Analysis of the lactose metabolism in E. coli using sum-of-squares decomposition [PDF]
We provide a system-theoretic analysis of the mathematical model of lactose induction in E.coli which predicts the level of lactose induction into the cell for specified values of external lactose.

Parameter estimation for Boolean models of biological networks [PDF]
Boolean networks have long been used as models of molecular networks and play an increasingly important role in systems biology. This paper describes a software package, Polynome, offered as a web service, that helps users construct Boolean network ...

Direct Quantification of Protein–Protein Interactions in Living Bacterial Cells
Quantitative measurement of protein–protein interactions in living cells is vital for biotechnology applications. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) signals in bacterial cells are often weak, leading to false‐positive. Quantitative FRET measurements are implemented to overcome the weak FRET signal.

Population gene introgression and high genome plasticity for the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae [PDF]
The influence that bacterial adaptation (or niche partitioning) within species has on gene spillover and transmission among bacteria populations occupying different niches is not well understood.
