The intergenic region linking conjugative transfer and replication copy control modules of IncF plasmids shows conservation of gene homology and organization. Genes distal to finO are coordinately expressed with the upstream transfer operon encoding the majority of conjugation genes in related plasmids. Here we investigate potential functions for these genes in copy number control and in processes...
The universal enzymatic cofactor vitamin B6 can be synthesized as pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) by the glutamine amidotransferase Pdx1. We show that Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pdx1 is hexameric by analytical ultracentrifugation and by crystallographic 3D structure determination. Bacterial homologues were previously reported to exist in hexamer:dodecamer equilibrium. A small sequence insertion found in...
Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is required as a cofactor by many enzymes. The predominant de novo biosynthetic route is catalyzed by a heteromeric glutamine amidotransferase consisting of the synthase subunit Pdx1 and the glutaminase subunit Pdx2. Previously, Bacillus subtilis PLP synthase was studied by X-ray crystallography and complex assembly had been characterized by isothermal titration calorimetry...
