The R-plasmids, which transfer resistance to p. aeruginosa strains agaiiıst generally used antibiotics in the treatmet of the infections caıısed by this gram (-) bacteria were investigated. The P. aeruginosa samples used in this study were isolat-ed from the clinical cases of Gülhane Military Medical Academy (GATA), such as throat, ear and urinary tract infections. Those clinical specimens of P. aeruginosa were tested far their sensitivities to fourteen different antibiotics that are used against P. aeurigonosa infec-tions in hospitals. It was found that ampicillin was the only antibiotic that all of the P. aerugi,nosa samples were resistant to. Using ampicillin as a selectable agent, plasmid isolations were done from all of the P. aeruginosa isolates. The isolated plasmids were then digested by the restric-tion endonuclease Bam HI. The agarose gel electropho-retic analysis showed that ali of the plasmids had only two and the same Bam HI sites. By the fragment size analysis of the Bam HI cut plas-mids, it was det~rmined that all of the P. aeruginosa iso-lates, that were resistant to ampicillin, contained identi-cal plasmids of 6 .25 kb. This result indicated that the P. aeruginosa samples used in this study carry an R-plasmid of 6.25 kb, which is not similar to those generally foun_d R-plasmids in this species.

Analysis of self-processing mechanism of galactose oxidase by site-directed mutagenesis and heterologous expression in Escherichia Coli
Gençer, Burçak; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
In this study, self-catalytic maturation of heterologously expressed pro-galactose oxidase was analysed in E.coli by altering some amino acids which were supposed to play a crucial role in pro-peptide removal. Galactose oxidase (GOase; EC 1.1.3.9) from Fusarium graminearum; having a molecular mass of 68kDa, is a monomeric, copper containing enzyme with an unusual thioether bond. The enzyme is produced as a precursor with an additional 8 amino acid pre- and a 17- amino acid pro-sequence at the N terminus. Pr...
Identification of differentially expressed proteins in wheat after benzothiadiazole treatment
Gunel, Aslihan; Asbahi, Adnan; Ozgazi, Nese; Akkaya, Mahinur (2012-12-01)
The systemic acquired resistance (SAR) mechanism is stimulated by biological and chemical agents in response to pathogen infection as a part of the innate immunity response system of plants. The externally applied synthetic chemical, benzo-(1,2,3)-thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid-S-methyl ester (BTH), is also known to induce a SAR response in plants. Studies identifying genes induced or suppressed by BTH are limited. Only few genes responding to BTH are determined. The focus of this preliminary study is to id...
Discovery of non-carbohydrate inhibitors of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes
Welch, KT; Virga, KG; Whittemore, NA; Özen, Can; Wright, E; Brown, CL; Lee, RE; Serpersu, EH (2005-11-15)
Chemical modification and inactivation of aminoglycosides by many different enzymes expressed in pathogenic bacteria are the main mechanisms of bacterial resistance to these antibiotics. In this work, we designed inhibitors that contain the 1,3-diamine pharmacophore shared by all aminoglycoside antibiotics that contain the 2-deoxystreptamine ring. A discovery library of molecules was prepared by attaching different side chains to both sides of the 1,3-diamine motif. Several of these diamines showed inhibito...
Identification of ligand binding regions of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor pheromone receptor by photoaffinity cross-linking
Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Naider, F; Becker, JM (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-10-19)
Analogues of alpha-factor, Saccharomyces cerevisiae tridecapeptide mating pheromone (H-Trp-His-Trp-Leu-Gln-Leu-Lys-Pro-Gly-Gln-Pro-Met-Tyr-OH), containing p-benzoylphenylalanine (Bpa), a photoactivatable group, and biotin as a tag, were synthesized using solid-phase methodologies on a p-benzyloxybenzyl alcohol polystyrene resin. Bpa was inserted at positions 1, 3, 5, 8, and 13 of alpha-factor to generate a set of cross-linkable analogues spanning the pheromone. The biological activity (growth arrest assay) ...
Construction of various fusion proteins of recombinant citrate synthase from thermoplasma volcanium
Özdoğan, Seda; Kocabıyık, Semra; Department of Biology (2004)
In this study, a strategy called gene splicing by overlap extension, 3Gene SOEing4, was used for the construction of the fusion proteins with the purpose of increasing the thermostability of mesophilic enzymes by incorporation of stability domain from a thermostable enzyme. Gene SOEing is a PCR-based approach for recombining DNA molecules at precise junctions irrespective of nucleotide sequences at the recombination site and without the use of restriction endonucleases or ligase. In fusion constructs, as th...
