Helga Westers, Ronald Dorenbos, Jorrit Kabel, Tony Flanagan, Kevin M. Devine, ...

Reconstructing the Bacillus genome (Westers et al.) Bacterial genomes contain 250 to 500 essential genes as suggested by single gene disruptions and theoretical considerations. If this view is...

From one amino acid to another: tRNA-dependent amino acid biosynthesis (2008)

Sheppard, Kelly, Yuan, Jing, Hohn, Michael J., Jester, Brian, Devine, Kevin M., Söll, Dieter

Aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs) are the essential substrates for translation. Most aa-tRNAs are formed by direct aminoacylation of tRNA catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. However, a smaller number...

J Mol Evol (1998) 47:691–696 Base Composition Skews, Replication Orientation, and Gene Orientation in (2007)

Prokaryote Genomes, Michael J. Mclean, Kenneth H. Wolfe, Kevin M. Devine

Abstract. Variation in GC content, GC skew and AT skew along genomic regions was examined at third codon positions in completely sequenced prokaryotes. Eight out of nine eubacteria studied show GC...

The extracellular proteome of Bacillus subtilis under secretion stress conditions (2003)

Antelmann, Haike, Darmon, Elise, Noone, David, Veening, Jan-Willem, Westers, Helga, Bron, Sierd, ...

The accumulation of malfolded proteins in the cell envelope of the Gram-positive eubacterium Bacillus subtilis was previously shown to provoke a so-called secretion stress response. In the present...

Genome Engineering Reveals Large Dispensable Regions in Bacillus subtilis (2003)

Westers, Helga, Dorenbos, Ronald, Dijl, Jan Maarten Van, Kabel, Jorrit, Flanagan, Tony, Devine, Kevin M., ...

Bacterial genomes contain 250 to 500 essential genes, as suggested by single gene disruptions and theoretical considerations. If this view is correct, the remaining nonessential genes of an organism,...

A Novel Class of Heat and Secretion Stress-Responsive Genes Is Controlled by the Autoregulated CssRS Two-Component System of Bacillus subtilis (2002)

Darmon, Elise, Noone, David, Masson, Anne, Bron, Sierd, Kuipers, Oscar P., Devine, Kevin M., ...

Bacteria need dedicated systems that allow appropriate adaptation to the perpetual changes in their environments. In Bacillus subtilis, two HtrA-like proteases, HtrA and HtrB, play critical roles in...

Codon usage and gene expression level in Dictyosteiium discoidtum: highly expressed genes do [prefer[ optimal codons (1989)

Sharp, Paul M., Devine, Kevin M.

Codon usage patterns in the slime mould Dictyosteiium discoideum have been reexamined (a total of 58 genes have been analysed). Considering the extreme A+T-richness of this genome (G+C≡22%), there...

Expression of ykdA, Encoding a Bacillus subtilis Homologue of HtrA, Is Heat Shock Inducible and Negatively Autoregulated

Noone, David, Howell, Alistair, Devine, Kevin M.

There are three members of the HtrA family of serine proteases, YkdA, YvtA, and YyxA, encoded in the chromosome of Bacillus subtilis. In this study, we report on the promoter structure and regulation...

YkdA and YvtA, HtrA-Like Serine Proteases in Bacillus subtilis, Engage in Negative Autoregulation and Reciprocal Cross-Regulation of ykdA and yvtA Gene Expression

Noone, David, Howell, Alistair, Collery, Ross, Devine, Kevin M.

HtrA-type serine proteases participate in folding and degradation of aberrant proteins and in processing and maturation of native proteins. Mutation of the corresponding genes often confers a...

New Family of Regulators in the Environmental Signaling Pathway Which Activates the General Stress Transcription Factor ςB of Bacillus subtilis

Akbar, Samina, Gaidenko, Tatiana A., Kang, Choong Min, O'Reilly, Mary, Devine, Kevin M., Price, Chester W.

Expression of the general stress regulon of Bacillus subtilis is controlled by the alternative transcription factor ςB, which is activated when cells encounter growth-limiting energy or...

Lysis Genes of the Bacillus subtilis Defective Prophage PBSX

Krogh, Susanne, Jørgensen, Steen T., Devine, Kevin M.

Four genes identified within the late operon of PBSX show characteristics expected of a host cell lysis system; they are xepA, encoding an exported protein; xhlA, encoding a putative...

One of Two OsmC Homologs in Bacillus subtilis Is Part of the ςB-Dependent General Stress Regulon

Völker, Uwe, Andersen, Kasper Krogh, Antelmann, Haike, Devine, Kevin M., Hecker, Michael

In this report we present the identification and analysis of two Bacillus subtilis genes, yklA and ykzA, which are homologous to the partially RpoS-controlled osmC gene from Escherichia coli. The...

Nonorthologous replacement of lysyl-tRNA synthetase prevents addition of lysine analogues to the genetic code

Jester, Brian C., Levengood, Jeffrey D., Roy, Hervé, Ibba, Michael, Devine, Kevin M.

Insertion of lysine during protein synthesis depends on the enzyme lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS), which exists in two unrelated forms, LysRS1 and LysRS2. LysRS1 has been found in most archaea and...

Stationary-phase expression and aminoacylation of a transfer-RNA-like small RNA

Ataide, Sandro F, Jester, Brian C, Devine, Kevin M, Ibba, Michael
