Plasmid pSB6 is a streptococcal recombinant plasmid carrying the alpha-amylase gene of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and the chloramphenicol resistance gene. The segregational and structural instabilities of this plasmid were examined under non-selective conditions in Bacillus subtilis. These instabilities were modelled according to a kinetic expression derived from the difference in the growth between plasmid-bearing and plasmid-free cells. This plasmid showed slight segregational instability and much higher levels of structural instability under the conditions examined.

Molecular cloning, characterization, and homologous expression of an endochitinase gene from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar morrisoni Okay, Sezer; Özcengiz, Gülay (2011-01-01) The endochitinase gene (chi3023) of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) serovar morrisoni strain 3023 was amplified via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned in Escherichia coli. The ORF of chi3023 (GenBank Accession Number: DQ993175) consists of 2031 nucleotides encoding a 676-residue protein with a calculated molecular mass of 74.5 kDa and a pI value of 6.0. The amino acid sequence of Chi3023 was compared with previously sequenced Bt chitinases and the phylogenetic relationships among them were determined. T...
Expressions and functions of phosphodiesterase enzymes are different in different region of the rat heart Derici, Mehmet Kursat; Sadi, Gökhan; Cenik, Başar; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; Demirel Yılmaz, Emine (null; 2016-06-30) Phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes are responsible for the breakdown of cAMP and cGMP and adjust the levels of cyclic nucleotides in heart. Alteration of PDE enzymes expression in different tissues caused conflicts between functional and clinical effects of PDE inhibitors. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the functional role and gene/protein expression of PDE enzymes in atrial and ventricular regions of the rat heart. The spontenously beating right atrium and electrically stimulated left papi...
Detection of physically interacting proteins with the CC and NB-ARC domains of a putative yellow rust resistance protein, Yr10, in wheat Yildirim-Ersoy, Figen; Ridout, Christopher J.; Akkaya, Mahinur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-08-01) Gene-for-gene (GFG) resistance is a potent defense mechanism in plants, that is mediated by resistance (R) proteins. In GFG resistance, pathogen effector or avirulence (Avr) proteins are recognised by R-proteins which initiate a series of signal transduction events that lead to hypersensitive cell death. In cereals, many R-proteins are comprised of an N-terminal coiled-coiled (CC) domain, a Nucleotide Binding (NB) domain and a Leucine Rich Repeats (LRR) region associated with effector recognition. NB-LRR im...
Phenotypic rescue of a Bacilysin-silenced strain of Bacillus Subtilis with Bacilysin supplementation Ertekin, Ozan; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2020-9) Bacillus subtilis, the model organism for the gram positive bacteria, is distinguished for its secondary metabolite synthesis. Remarkably, most of these metabolites are small peptides which are generally synthesized non-ribosomally with multifunctional enzyme complexes. Bacilysin, a dipeptide composed of L-alanine and L-anticapsin, is the smallest peptide antibiotic which is produced by several enzymatical steps, however, its biosynthesis does not fully fit the general mechanisms of NRPSs. This small molecu...
Expression and activity analyses of industrially important extracellular enzymes produced by a bacilysin knock-out mutant of Bacillus Subtilis Aytekin, Samet; Özcengiz, Gülay; Okay, Sezer; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2018) Bacilysin, the smallest peptide antibiotic known to date, is produced non-ribosomally by Bacillus subtilis by the collective actions of seven proteins transcribed from bacABCDEF operon and bacG gene. Bacilysin is a two-amino acid peptide composed of L-alanine and a modified amino acid, L-anticapsin. Bacilysin biosynthesis was shown to be strongly regulated by quorum sensing through the actions of global regulator proteins including Spo0K, Spo0H, Spo0A, ComQ/ComX, ComP/ComA as well as several Phr proteins, O...
