1. Estudo do sistema BlaR/Blal e de dois operons codificando sistemas de efluxo RND em Caulobacter crescentus. / Study of the BlaR/BlaI system and two operons encoding RND efflux systems from Caulobacter crescentus.
The aim of this work is to characterize three clusters of genes from the alpha proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus involved in metal and antibiotics response. We analyzed the cluster comprising genes CC1637-CC1640, which contains a BlaR/BlaI signal transduction system, and we performed a comparative analysis with two RND efflux systems consisting on genes

2. Identificação e caracterização funcional dos elementos cis-regulatorios da miostatina / Identification and functional characterization of the cis-regulatory elements of myostatin
The Myostatin protein (also known as GDF8) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily and is expressed almost exclusively in skeletal muscle, both in the embryo and in the adult, where the protein circulates in the blood flow. It was initially identified in 1997 by MCPHERRON et al., and since then many studies have been dem

3. Mutational Analysis of the Uukuniemi Virus (Bunyaviridae Family) Promoter Reveals Two Elements of Functional Importance
We have performed an extensive mutational analysis of the proposed promoter region of the phlebovirus Uukuniemi (UUK), a member of the Bunyaviridae family. This was achieved by using a recently developed RNA polymerase I (Pol I)-driven reverse genetics system (R. Flick and R. F. Pettersson, J. Virol. 75:1643-1655, 2001). Chimeric cDNAs containing the coding

4. RNA Replication from the Simian Virus 5 Antigenomic Promoter Requires Three Sequence-Dependent Elements Separated by Sequence-Independent Spacer Regions
We have previously shown for the paramyxovirus simian virus 5 (SV5) that a functional promoter for RNA replication requires proper spacing between two discontinuous elements: a 19-base segment at the 3′ terminus (conserved region I [CRI]) and an 18-base internal region (CRII) that is contained within the coding region of the L protein gene. In the work des

5. Functional Analysis of the Noncoding Regions of the Uukuniemi Virus (Bunyaviridae) RNA Segments
The role of the variable portion of the noncoding regions (NCRs) of the three Bunyaviridae RNA segments (L, M, S) in transcription, replication, and packaging was studied using the recently developed plasmid-driven RNA polymerase I minigenome system for Uukuniemi (UUK) virus, genus Phlebovirus (11), as a model. Comparison of the different segments showed tha

6. Reverse Genetics System for Uukuniemi Virus (Bunyaviridae): RNA Polymerase I-Catalyzed Expression of Chimeric Viral RNAs
We describe here the development of a reverse genetics system for the phlebovirus Uukuniemi virus, a member of the Bunyaviridae family, by using RNA polymerase I (pol I)-mediated transcription. Complementary DNAs containing the coding sequence for either chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) or green fluorescent protein (GFP) (both in antisense orientation

7. Molecular genetics of androgen-dependent and -independent expression of mouse sex-limited protein.
Genes of the mouse S locus encoding C4 (the fourth component complement) and Slp (sex-limited protein) show extensive homology but are distinct in their function and regulation. In some mouse strains, such as B10.D2, Slp is androgen regulated, whereas in others, such as B10.W7R, expression of Slp is constitutive. We have previously shown that the B10.W7R str

8. Characterization of the sigma 38-dependent expression of a core Escherichia coli starvation gene, pexB.
A reverse genetics approach was used to clone a pex starvation gene that codes for an 18-kDa polypeptide, designated PexB. Single-copy pexB-lacZ operon fusions were constructed to study transcriptional regulation and the promoter region of this gene. The induction by carbon starvation or osmotic stress was transcriptional and controlled by sigma 38 but was i

9. A Functional Antigenomic Promoter for the Paramyxovirus Simian Virus 5 Requires Proper Spacing between an Essential Internal Segment and the 3′ Terminus
A previous analysis of naturally occurring defective interfering (DI) RNA genomes of the prototypic paramyxovirus simian virus 5 (SV5) indicated that 113 bases at the 3′ terminus of the antigenome were sufficient to direct RNA encapsidation and replication. A nucleotide sequence alignment of the antigenomic 3′-terminal 113 bases of members of the Rubulav

10. Mutagenesis of Burkholderia pseudomallei with Tn5-OT182: isolation of motility mutants and molecular characterization of the flagellin structural gene.
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a human and animal pathogen in tropical regions, especially Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Currently little is known about the genetics and molecular biology of this organism. In this report, we describe the mutagenesis of B. pseudomallei with the transposon Tn5-OT182. B. pseudomallei 1026b transposon mutants were obtaine
