DNA supercoiling and the Lrp protein determine the directionality of fim switch DNA inversion in Escherichia coli K-12
(2006)Site-specific recombinases of the integrase family usually require cofactors to impart directionality in the recombination reactions that they catalyze. The FimB integrase inverts the Escherichia coli fim switch (fimS) in ... -
In vitro DNA binding properties of VirB, the Shigella flexneri virulence regulatory protein
(2003)The DNA-binding activity of the Shigella flexneri VirB transcription factor was studied in vitro. The protein was found to bind non-specifically to DNA, but showed preferential binding to VirB-dependent promoter sequences. ... -
Staphylococcus aureus protein A binding to osteoblast tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 results in activation of nuclear factor kappa B and release of interleukin-6 in bone infection.
(2013)Staphylococcusaureus is the major pathogen among the staphylococci and the most common cause of bone infections. These infections are mainly characterized by bone destruction and inflammation, and are often debilitating ...
