CotA of Bacillus subtilis Is a Copper-Dependent Laccase
Hullo, Marie-Françoise, Moszer, Ivan, Danchin, Antoine, Martin-Verstraete, Isabelle
The spore coat protein CotA of Bacillus subtilis displays similarities with multicopper oxidases, including manganese oxidases and laccases. B. subtilis is able to oxidize manganese, but neither CotA...

The way in which the genes involved in cysteine biosynthesis are regulated is poorly characterized in Bacillus subtilis. We showed that CysL (formerly YwfK), a LysR-type transcriptional regulator,...
Three Different Systems Participate in l-Cystine Uptake in Bacillus subtilis
Burguière, Pierre, Auger, Sandrine, Hullo, Marie-Françoise, Danchin, Antoine, Martin-Verstraete, Isabelle
The symporter YhcL and two ATP binding cassette transporters, YtmJKLMN and YckKJI, were shown to mediate l-cystine uptake in Bacillus subtilis. A triple ΔyhcL ΔytmJKLMN ΔyckK mutant was unable to...

Pleiotropic Role of Quorum-Sensing Autoinducer 2 in Photorhabdus luminescens†
Krin, Evelyne, Chakroun, Nesrine, Turlin, Evelyne, Givaudan, Alain, Gaboriau, François, Bonne, Isabelle, ...
Bacterial virulence is an integrative process that may involve quorum sensing. In this work, we compared by global expression profiling the wild-type entomopathogenic Photorhabdus luminescens subsp....
Conversion of Methionine to Cysteine in Bacillus subtilis and Its Regulation▿
Hullo, Marie-Françoise, Auger, Sandrine, Soutourina, Olga, Barzu, Octavian, Yvon, Mireille, Danchin, Antoine, ...
Bacillus subtilis can use methionine as the sole sulfur source, indicating an efficient conversion of methionine to cysteine. To characterize this pathway, the enzymatic activities of CysK, YrhA and...
