Microorganisms, 2020 Operons are a dominant feature of bacterial and archaeal genome organization. Numerous investigations have related aspects of operon structure to operon function, making operons exemplars for studies aimed at deciphering Nature’s design principles for ...

Evaluation of Biofilm Formation and Presence of Genes in Clinical Isolates [PDF]
Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives, 2018 Objectives Biofilm formation is one of the important features of Staphylococcus epidermidis, particularly in nosocomial infections. We aimed to investigate the biofilm production by phenotypic methods and the presence of ica genes in S epidermidis ...

mSphere, 2020 Copper is broadly toxic to bacteria. As such, bacteria have evolved specialized copper export systems (cop operons) often consisting of a DNA-binding/copper-responsive regulator (which can be a repressor or activator), a copper chaperone, and a copper ...

Briefings in Functional Genomics and Proteomics, 2004 It was thought that polycistronic transcription is a characteristic of bacteria and archaea, where many of the genes are clustered in operons composed of two to more than ten genes. By contrast, the genes of eukaryotes are generally considered to be monocistronic, each with its own promoter at the 5' end and a transcription terminator at the 3' end ...

Operon Prediction Model Based on Markov Clustering Algorithm [PDF]
International Journal Bioautomation, 2019 There are many operon prediction models, but few methods can be applied to the operon prediction of new sequencing species effectively. In this paper, an operon prediction model based on Markov clustering algorithm is proposed.

Transcriptome Landscape of Mycobacterium smegmatis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The non-pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 has been widely used as a model organism in mycobacterial research, yet a detailed study about its transcription landscape remains to be established. Here we report the transcriptome, expression

The mbo operon is specific and essential for biosynthesis of mangotoxin in Pseudomonas syringae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mangotoxin is an antimetabolite toxin produced by certain Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strains. This toxin is an oligopeptide that inhibits ornithine N-acetyl transferase, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of ornithine and arginine.

Vulnerabilities in Yersinia pestis caf operon are unveiled by a Salmonella vector. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 During infection, Yersinia pestis uses its F1 capsule to enhance survival and cause virulence to mammalian host. Since F1 is produced in large quantities and secreted into the host tissues, it also serves as a major immune target.

Gene Gangs of the Chloroviruses: Conserved Clusters of Collinear Monocistronic Genes
Viruses, 2018 Chloroviruses (family Phycodnaviridae) are dsDNA viruses found throughout the world’s inland waters. The open reading frames in the genomes of 41 sequenced chloroviruses (330 ± 40 kbp each) representing three virus types were analyzed for evidence of ...
