Nucleotide sequence and mutational analysis of an immunity repressor gene from Bacillus subtilis temperate phage ϕ105 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
We have identified and sequenced a bacteriophage phi 105 gene encoding an immunity repressor, the first to be characterized from a temperate phage infecting a Gram-positive host.

A R2R3-MYB Transcription Factor, VvMYBC2L2, Functions as a Transcriptional Repressor of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
In grapevine, the MYB transcription factors play an important role in the flavonoid pathway. Here, a R2R3-MYB transcription factor, VvMYBC2L2, isolated from Vitis vinifera cultivar Yatomi Rose, may be involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis as a ...

Optimizing periodicity and polymodality in noise-induced genetic oscillators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Many cellular functions are based on the rhythmic organization of biological processes into self-repeating cascades of events. Some of these periodic processes, such as the cell cycles of several species, exhibit conspicuous irregularities in the form of

Role of the Two-Component System CiaRH in the Regulation of Efflux Pump SatAB and Its Correlation with Fluoroquinolone Susceptibility

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Streptococcus suis is an important pathogen in both pigs and humans. Although the diseases associated with S. suis can typically be treated with antibiotics, such use has resulted in a sustained increase in drug resistance. Bacteria can sense and respond

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of dUTPase from the helper phage Φ11 of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Staphylococcus aureus superantigen-carrying pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) have a determinant role in spreading virulence genes among bacterial populations that constitute a major health hazard.

The Enterococcus faecalis FabT Transcription Factor Regulates Fatty Acid Biosynthesis in Response to Exogeneous Fatty Acids

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The phospholipid acyl chains of Enterococcus faecalis can be derived either by de novo synthesis or by incorporation of exogenous fatty acids through the fatty acid kinase complex (Fak)-phosphate acyltransferase (PlsX) pathway.

Finding the center reliably: robust patterns of developmental gene expression

open access: yes, 2005
We investigate a mechanism for the robust identification of the center of a developing biological system. We assume the existence of two morphogen gradients, an activator emanating from the anterior, and a co-repressor from the posterior.

Dosage Sensing, Threshold Responses, and Epigenetic Memory: A Systems Biology Perspective on Random X‐Chromosome Inactivation

open access: yes, 2020
X‐chromosome inactivation ensures dosage compensation between the sexes in mammals by randomly choosing one out of the two X chromosomes in females for inactivation.

Nonlinearity arising from noncooperative transcription factor binding enhances negative feedback and promotes genetic oscillations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study the effects of multiple binding sites in the promoter of a genetic oscillator. We evaluate the regulatory function of a promoter with multiple binding sites in the absence of cooperative binding, and consider different hypotheses for how the ...

NINJA connects the co-repressor TOPLESS to jasmonate signalling

open access: yesNature, 2010
Jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is a plant hormone that regulates a broad array of plant defence and developmental processes. JA-Ile-responsive gene expression is regulated by the transcriptional activator MYC2 that interacts physically with the jasmonate ...
