Space, Telecommunications and Radioscience Laboratory. Plasmid and phage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) harboring bacterial insertion sequence (IS) elements IS1, IS2, and IS5 were characterized and used as probes to detect homologous sequences in various procaryotic and eucaryotic genomes. The ffs gene is transcribed throughout the cell-cycle and is transcribed at similar rates in mutant (ffs36) and wild-type strains, but in the mutant the 4.5 S RNA is unstable leading to lower 4.5 S RNA levels. Many important biological processes occur deep inside living organisms. Organization Schrader, J. M., Li, G., Zhou, B., Weissman, J. S., Shapiro, L. Quantifying the Spatial Organization of Bacterial Ribosomes using Three-Dimensional Super-Resolution Microscopy. The master CtrA response regulator functions in Caulobacter to repress replication initiation in different phases of the cell cycle. The transcription of many spatially and temporally controlled flagellar structural genes in Caulobacter requires the RNA polymerase sigma 54 subunit. The initiation of DNA replication is under differential control in Caulobacter crescentus. Analysis of deletions and base substitutions in the 5' region of the operon established the presence of two functional promoters: a heat shock-inducible promoter, P1, with characteristics of a sigma 32 promoter, and an adjacent sigma 70-like promoter, P2. The rates of open complex formation and RNA elongation were slower when phiCdl DNA was transcribed by the E. coli RNA polymerase. The cell cycle-regulatory pathways that produce specific temporal TE patterns are separate from-but highly coordinated with-the transcriptional cell cycle circuitry, suggesting that the scheduling of translational regulation is organized by the same cyclical regulatory circuit that directs the transcriptional control of the Caulobacter cell cycle. These promoters, as well as those for several other genes encoding DNA replication proteins that are induced at the same time in the cell cycle, share two sequence motifs, suggesting that they represent a family whose transcription is coordinately regulated. Comparison to other organisms reveals conservation of cell cycle regulatory logic, even if regulatory proteins, themselves, are not conserved. Two heat shock proteins, DnaK and Lon are specifically segregated to the progeny stalked cell. Using an inactive form of PleC (PleCH610A) that lacks the catalytic histidine residue, we provide evidence that PleC activity is responsible for the asymmetric distribution of CpaE and itself to only one of the two cell poles. In most cases of cellular asymmetry, bacteria are able to discriminate between the new pole and the old pole and to utilize this information for localization specificity. Superresolution fluorescence microscopy and cryogenic electron tomography (CET) are powerful imaging methods for exploring the subcellular organization of biomolecules. The importance of the conserved bases for promoter activity was demonstrated by mutational analysis. View details for Web of Science ID 000165066300004. Inverted repeat DNA sequences of Caulobacter crescentus have been isolated, characterized, and cloned in a bacteriophage lambda vector. The homologous sequence between IS2 and 16S rTNA is the same sequence in phi X174 DNA which codes for the ends of the E and D gene and the start of J. Like flagellar biogenesis, stalk formation is an asymmetric polar morphogenesis that occurs once each cell cycle in response to internal cell cycle signals. Dr. Weissmans laboratory is working on identifying and characterizing the progression of discrete changes, genetic and epigenetic, that leads to the generation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) from a variety of blood and solid tissue cancers. Because of the many parallels in the function of these biochemically based genetic circuits and electrical circuits, a hybrid modeling approach is proposed that integrates conventional biochemical kinetic modeling within the framework of a circuit simulation.

Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) are active in many bacterial cell functions, including regulation of the cell's response to environmental challenges. NIH F32 Fellowship. A mutant of Caulobacter crescentus has been isolated which has an auxotrophic requirement for unsaturated fatty acids or biotin for growth on medium containing glucose as the carbon source.

The partial IS sequences may represent silent evolutionary remnants or they could modulate the expression of genes carrying these sequences. PopZ interacts directly with the ParB protein bound to specific DNA sequences near the replication origin. Progression of the Caulobacter cell cycle requires temporal and spatial control of gene expression, culminating in an asymmetric cell division yielding distinct daughter cells. View details for Web of Science ID 000281866900006, View details for PubMedCentralID PMC2944545. Expression of fliX is under cell cycle control, with transcription beginning relatively early in the cell cycle and peaking in Caulobacter predivisional cells. 5/2016 Shapiro completed postdoctoral research at Stanford University Medical School and was named a Guggenheim Fellow at MITs Center for Cancer Research. Stanford University, Department of Chemistry. CcrM is essential for viability in both of these organisms, and we show here that it is also essential in Brucella abortus. Deletion analysis indicated that a 55 bp DNA fragment was sufficient for normal, temporally regulated promoter activity. As the duplicated chromosomes are partitioned, factors that restrict assembly of the cell division protein FtsZ associate with a chromosomal locus near the origin, ensuring that the division site is located towards the middle of the cell. Our partner, Stanford Blood Center, offers blood products to the Stanford community and beyond. Achieving cryogenic super-resolution microscopy requires the ability to control the sparsity of emissive labels at cryogenic temperatures. CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH -Ladd, A. L.2016;474 (6): 1379-1382, JOURNAL OF HAND SURGERY-AMERICAN VOLUME -Kamal, R. N., Kakar, S., Ruch, D., Richard, M.

W.2016;41 (4): 565-573, journal of bone and joint surgery. First, after entry into S-phase, the newly synthesized origin regions are segregated in an active and directed process, involving the bacterial actin homolog MreB. The bacterium must replicate its genetic material and divide at the correct site in the cell and at the correct time in the cell cycle with high precision. In-frame deletions in the chromosomal copy of the fliL gene result in cells that form a flagellum but are non-motile. The process of establishing asymmetry prior to cell division requires that a number of gene products be targeted to a pole of the predivisional cell and consequently segregated to one of the two progeny. Rate enhancement of protein crystallization by a discrete nucleation domain may enable engineering of kinetically controllable self-assembling 2D macromolecular nanomaterials. The sequential changes in the chromosomal methylation state serve to couple the progression of DNA replication to cell-cycle events regulated by the master transcriptional regulatory cascade, thus providing a ratchet mechanism for robust cell-cycle control. The promoter sequence of the fliQR operon differs from most known bacterial promoter sequences but is similar to other Caulobacter class II flagellar gene promoter sequences. The group is always looking for creative individuals and we welcome people of all races, ethnicities, religions, gender identities and sexual orientations. We demonstrate the direct binding between these three proteins and show that a polar microdomain spontaneously assembles when the three proteins are coexpressed heterologously in an Escherichia coli test system. Each Caulobacter cell cycle involves differentiation and an asymmetric cell division driven by a cyclical regulatory circuit comprised of four transcription factors (TFs) and a DNA methyltransferase. Our aim is to identify and characterize systems that influence the interplay among genetic variation, phenotypic diversity, and environmental fluctuations at the molecular level, integrating our findings to gain insight into complex cellular systems. Cellular functions in Bacteria, such as chromosome segregation and cytokinesis, result from cascades of molecular events operating largely as self-contained modules. The localization pattern of RcdA is coincident with and dependent upon ClpX localization. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that these proteins constitute a highly conserved DNA methyltransferase family. Although ClpAP does not exhibit subcellular localization, FtsZ is a substrate of both ClpXP and ClpAPin vivo and in vitro. B., Melfi, M. D., Luong, K., Clark, T. A., Boitano, M., Wang, S., Zhou, B., Gonzalez, D., Collier, J., Turner, S. W., Korlach, J., Shapiro, L., McAdams, H. H. Oligomerization and higher-order assembly contribute to sub-cellular localization of a bacterial scaffold. These controls include temporally regulated transcription and phosphorylation and spatially restricted proteolysis. Cori has features that both affiliate and distinguish it from the Escherichia coli chromosome replication origin. We perform cryogenic super-resolution experiments in situ, labeling PopZ, a protein known to assemble into a microdomain at the poles of the model bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. In addition, we found that C. crescentus, like Escherichia coli, synthesizes vaccenic acid (18:1 delta 11,cis) rather than oleic acid (18:1 delta 9,cis).

We report the dynamic spatial organization of Caulobacter crescentus RNase E (RNA degradosome) and ribosomal protein L1 (ribosome) using 3D single-particle tracking and superresolution microscopy. In this paper, we report alterations in both the stalk and the flagellar structure that result from a mutation in the flagellar gene flbT. The promoter of this operon was located by chromosomal integration of subclones of this region and by identifying DNA fragments that were capable of expressing lacZ transcriptional fusions. 2006-present. 1994: 85050, Characterization of Trapezial Pommel in Relation to Radiographic and Wear Patterns in Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis.

However, these mutants efficiently transported fatty acids and had beta-oxidation enzyme levels comparable with that of the wild type. Data are presented that allow the unambiguous identification of a second Fat gene (fatB) in C. crescentus. Immunoprecipitation of a DnaA'-beta-lactamase fusion protein showed that although expression occurs throughout the cell cycle, there is a doubling in the rate of expression just prior to the initiation of replication.

The distribution of MCPs was examined in flagellated and non-flagellated vesicles isolated from predivisional cells. Because regulatory proteins are among those that reside at specific cellular sites, it is now necessary to consider three-dimensional organization when describing the genetic networks that control bacterial cells. Several fla- mutants were also isolated by Tn5-VB32 mutagenesis and shown to confer kanamycin resistance. SMC complexes and histone-like proteins continuously remodel the nucleoid to reconcile chromatin compaction with DNA replication and gene regulation.

We propose that this ParB-stimulated ParA depolymerization activity moves the centromere to the opposite cell pole through a burnt bridge Brownian ratchet mechanism. The differential turn-on of these genes contributes to the generation of asymmetry in the predivisional cell in that the products of these genes are targeted to specific cellular locations. Analysis of the cloned C. crescentus dnaA gene has shown that the deduced amino acid sequence can encode a 486-amino-acid protein that is 37% identical to the DnaA protein of Escherichia coli. We offer consultative services to pathologists around the world who seek assistance with challenging cases. In addition, we identified two previously unidentified N(6)-methyladenine motifs and showed that they maintained a constant methylation state throughout the cell cycle. The initiation of chromosomal replication occurs concomitantly with the transition of the motile swarmer cell to the sessile stalked cell. Nucleoid morphology was also abnormal. Thus, the temporal control of this methyltransferase appears to contribute to the accurate cell-cycle control of DNA replication and cellular morphology. The switch to the second phospholipid profile was observed to occur at the predivisional cell stage. Wheeler, R. T., Gober, J. W., Shapiro, L.

For DNA segments greater than about 300 kb, the mean interloci distances scale as n, in agreement with previous observations. Deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) was purified from the dimorphic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus at three stages in development. We have also identified a new structural feature at the flagellated pole and the tip of the stalk: the 10-nm polar particle. Comparison of the response of swarmer cells and stalked cells to carbon starvation revealed four groups of genes that exhibit different expression profiles.

Here we report a global transcriptional analysis of an oxygen sensory/signaling network in Caulobacter crescentus consisting of the sensor histidine kinase FixL, its cognate response regulator FixJ, the transcriptional regulator FixK, and the kinase inhibitor FixT. Transcription from the ssrA promoter peaks late in G(1), just before the peak in SsrA RNA abundance. CcrM is transiently present near the end of DNA replication when it rapidly methylates the adenine in hemimethylated GANTC sequences. The molecular details of these universal cellular processes in C. crescentus will provide paradigms applicable to many general aspects of cellular differentiation.
