Localization of the Binding Site of an Antibody Affecting ATPase Activity of Chaperonin cpn60 from Bordetella pertussis (1993)

Cejka, Z., Gould-Kostka, D., Burns, D., Kessel, M.

Image processing has revealed the attachment site of antibody 54G8 on chaperonin 60 (cpn60) from Bordetella pertussis. This antibody, previously shown to affect the ability of chaperonin 10 (cpn10)...

The protein-folding activity of chaperonins correlates with the symmetric GroEL14(GroES7)2 heterooligomer.

Azem, A, Diamant, S, Kessel, M, Weiss, C, Goloubinoff, P

Chaperonins GroEL and GroES form, in the presence of ATP, two types of heterooligomers in solution: an asymmetric GroEL14GroES7 "bullet"-shaped particle and a symmetric GroEL14(GroES7)2...

Fine-structure evidence for cell membrane partitioning of the nucleoid and cytoplasm during bud formation in Hyphomonas species.

Zerfas, P M, Kessel, M, Quintero, E J, Weiner, R M

Hyphomonas spp. reproduce by budding from the tip of the prosthecum, distal to the main body of the reproductive cell; thus, the chromosome must travel through the prosthecum to enter the progeny,...

Distribution of viruses in the Chesapeake Bay.

Wommack, K E, Hill, R T, Kessel, M, Russek-Cohen, E, Colwell, R R

High virus counts were found in water samples collected from the Chesapeake Bay. Viruses were enumerated by ultracentrifugation of water samples onto grids which were visualized by transmission...

Use of autoradiography to assess viability of Helicobacter pylori in water.

Shahamat, M, Mai, U, Paszko-Kolva, C, Kessel, M, Colwell, R R

Autoradiographic methods have been developed to detect metabolic activity of viable but nonculturable cells of Helicobacter pylori in water. Four strains of H. pylori were studied by using microcosms...

Characterization of a stress protein from group B Neisseria meningitidis.

Arakere, G, Kessel, M, Nguyen, N, Frasch, C E

Increased levels of a 65-kDa stress protein (Msp65) were observed in group B Neisseria meningitidis grown under stationary-growth conditions. Electron microscopy showed two apposing rings of seven...

Isolation and characterization of a generalized transducing phage for Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris.

Weiss, B D, Capage, M A, Kessel, M, Benson, S A

We have isolated and characterized a lytic double-stranded DNA Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris bacteriophage (XTP1) capable of mediating generalized transduction. The phage transduces...

The 5'-flanking region of the gene encoding the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase is crucial for growth of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 at the level of CO2 in air.

Friedberg, D, Kaplan, A, Ariel, R, Kessel, M, Seijffers, J

Transformation of the high-CO2-requiring mutants (hcr) O221 and E1 derived from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 by a wild-type DNA library restored their ability to grow at the...

Cytoplasmic helical structure associated with Acholeplasma laidlawii.

Kessel, M, Peleg, I, Muhlrad, A, Kahane, I

A distinct spiral protein structure was found in three species of Acholeplasma, but was not found in the Mycoplasma species studied. The spirals, which are 14 nm in width and of variable length from...

Ultrastructure of square bacteria from a brine pool in Southern Sinai.

Kessel, M, Cohen, Y

The square bacterium discovered by Walsby (Nature [London] 283:69-71, 1980) has been shown to possess the ultrastructural features of a typical halophile. The cell wall is comprised of regularly...

Relationship of Bdellovibrio elongation and fission to host cell size.

Kessel, M, Shilo, M

The extent of Bdellovibrio growth, and hence progeny produced in infected cells, appears to depend upon host cell size as determined from the ratio of ultimitate length of Bdellovibrio to host cell...

Identification of a phosphorus-containing storage granule in the cyanobacterium plectonema boryanum by electron microscope x-ray microanalysis.

Kessel, M

Transmission electron microscopy of cyanobacteria couple with X-ray microanalysis has confirmed that dense deposits within these cells are composed of phosphorous.

Growth Cycle of Predacious Bdellovibrios in a Host-Free Extract System and Some Properties of the Host Extract

Horowitz, Aviva T., Kessel, M., Shilo, M.

Host-free growth and reproduction of a host-dependent strain of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus incubated with an extract from host cells were studied. The morphological changes occurring in the cells...

Nonrandom Sister Chromatid Segregation and Nuclear Migration in Hyphae of Aspergillus nidulans

Rosenberger, R. F., Kessel, M.

Radioactive conidiospores of Aspergillus nidulans were prepared by growing a purine-requiring mutant with tritiated adenine. When these spores germinated in a nonradioactive medium, the dispersion of...

Purification and immunological characterization of a GroEL-like protein from Bordetella pertussis.

Burns, D L, Gould-Kostka, J L, Kessel, M, Arciniega, J L

A GroEL-like protein from Bordetella pertussis was purified. This protein was found to have the tetradecameric subunit structure typical of the GroEL family of proteins and to contain epitopes...

Synchrony of Nuclear Replication in Individual Hyphae of Aspergillus nidulans

Rosenberger, R. F., Kessel, M.

The synchrony of nuclear replication in individual, multinucleate hyphae of Aspergillus nidulans has been investigated. Samples were taken from cultures of germinating conidiospores, and the relative...

Iron storage in Mycoplasma capricolum.

Bauminger, E R, Cohen, S G, Levy, A, Ofer, S, Kessel, M, ...

Considerable quantities or iron were incorporated into the Mycoplasma capricolum cell membrane. Mossbauer studies showed that the iron is in a form which becomes magnetically ordered at low...

Primary structure and nuclear localization of a murine homeodomain protein.

Kessel, M, Schulze, F, Fibi, M, Gruss, P

The murine homeobox Hox 1.1 (m6) is the first of a cluster of six boxes on chromosome 6. Using probes and synthetic peptides derived from the Hox 1.1 sequence, we were able to isolate cDNAs and...

Regulation and Timing of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Synthesis in Hyphae of Aspergillus nidulans

Kessel, M., Rosenberger, R. F.

Pulse labeling of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and radioautography have been used to study the effect of growth rate on nuclear replication in Aspergillus nidulans. When conidia were germinated in...

Nucleotide sequence analysis and enhancer function of long terminal repeats associated with an endogenous African green monkey retroviral DNA.

Flagella and motility behaviour of square bacteria.
