Using a set of six 1H-detected triple-resonance NMR experiments, we establish method for sequence-specific backbone resonance assignment magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic (NMR) spectra 5–30 kDa proteins. The approach relies on perdeuteration, amide 2H/1H exchange, high fields, and high-spinning frequencies (ωr/2π ≥ 60 kHz) yields high-quality data, enabling the use automated analysis. is validated with five examples proteins in different condensed states, including two...
Narrow 1H NMR linewidths can be obtained for fully protonated protein samples in the solid state by using ultrafast magic-angle spinning (60 kHz). Medium-size microcrystalline and noncrystalline proteins analyzed without any need deuteration of sample. This approach provides assignments backbone 1H, 15N, 13Cα, 13CO resonances yields information about 1H–1H proximities.
The utilization of ribozyme-based synthetic switches in biotechnology has many advantages such as an increased robustness due to cis regulation, small coding space and a high degree modularity. report endonucleolytic twister ribozymes provides new opportunities for the development advanced tools engineering genetic switches. Here we show that ribozyme is distinguished outstandingly flexible expression platform, which conjugation with three different aptamer domains, enables construction one-...
Significance We have investigated multiple aspects of the Euplotes - Polynucleobacter system, which provides a unique opportunity for study an obligate symbiont with closely related free-living organism that itself possesses peculiarly reduced genome and metabolism. confirmed robustness generality patterns in evolution bacterial symbionts’ genome, adding at same time new elements hypotheses concerning reduction both symbiotic bacteria. argue this system will provide exceptionally useful...
Abstract Despite their roles in controlling many cellular processes, weak and transient interactions between large structured macromolecules disordered protein segments cannot currently be characterized at atomic resolution by X‐ray crystallography or solution NMR. Solid‐state NMR does not suffer from the molecular size limitations affecting NMR, it can applied to molecules different aggregation states, including non‐crystalline precipitates sediments. A solid‐state approach based on high...
Schmale 1H-NMR-Linien werden mithilfe von schneller Drehung im magischen Winkel (60 kHz) für vollständig protonierte Proteinproben festen Zustand erhalten. Die Analyse mittelgroßer mikrokristalliner und nichtkristalliner Proteine gelingt ohne Deuterierung der Probe. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht die Zuordnung 1H-, 15N-, 13Cα- 13CO-Resonanzen des Rückgrats liefert Informationen über das Vorliegen kleiner 1H-1H-Abstände. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as...
Besides its primary informational role, the sequence of mRNA (mRNA) including 5'- and 3'- untranslated regions (UTRs), contains important features that are relevant for post-transcriptional translational regulation gene expression. In this work a number bacterial twister motifs characterized both in vitro vivo. The analysis their genetic contexts shows these have potential being transcribed as part polycistronic mRNAs, thus we suggest involvement processing mRNA. Our data show...

Abstract Upon nutrient depletion, bacteria stop proliferating and undergo physiological morphological changes to ensure their survival. Yet, how these processes are coordinated in response distinct starvation conditions is poorly understood. Here we compare the cellular responses of Caulobacter crescentus carbon (C), nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) conditions. We find that DNA replication initiation abundance initiator DnaA are, under all three conditions, regulated by a common mechanism...

The ability to regulate DNA replication initiation in response changing nutrient conditions is an important feature of most cell types. In bacteria, triggered by the initiator protein DnaA, which has long been suggested respond nutritional changes; nevertheless, underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.
