Antibacterial activity and mechanism of action of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (BW A509U).

Elwell, L P, Ferone, R, Freeman, G A, Fyfe, J A, Hill, J A, Ray, P H, ...

The thymidine analog 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (BW A509U; azidothymidine [AZT]) had potent bactericidal activity against many members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, including strains of...

Cloning, sequencing, and enhanced expression of the dihydropteroate synthase gene of Escherichia coli MC4100.

Dallas, W S, Gowen, J E, Ray, P H, Cox, M J, Dev, I K

The Escherichia coli gene coding for dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) has been cloned and sequenced. The protein has 282 amino acids and a compositional molecular mass of 30,314 daltons. Increased...

Cloning, sequence analysis, and overexpression of Escherichia coli folK, the gene coding for 7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxymethylpterin-pyrophosphokinase.

Talarico, T L, Ray, P H, Dev, I K, Merrill, B M, Dallas, W S

The gene coding for the Escherichia coli enzyme 7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxymethylpterin-pyrophosphokinase has been cloned and sequenced. This gene, designated folK, codes for a protein of 159 amino acids,...

Purification and partial characterization of 7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxymethylpterin-pyrophosphokinase and 7,8-dihydropteroate synthase from Escherichia coli MC4100.

Talarico, T L, Dev, I K, Dallas, W S, Ferone, R, Ray, P H

The enzymes 7,8-dihydroxymethylpterin-pyrophosphokinase (HPPK) and 7,8-dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS), which act sequentially in the folate pathway, were purified to homogeneity from crude extracts...

Temperature-dependent insertion of prolipoprotein into Escherichia coli membrane vesicles and requirements for ATP, soluble factors, and functional SecY protein for the overall translocation process.

Tian, G, Wu, H C, Ray, P H, Tai, P C

The requirements for the translocation of prolipoprotein into membrane vesicles were examined in an in vitro system. As measured by the eventual modification and processing of the prolipoprotein to...

In vivo and in vitro synthesis of Escherichia coli maltose-binding protein under regulatory control of the lacUV5 promoter-operator.

Rasmussen, B A, MacGregor, C H, Ray, P H, Bassford, P J

It has not been possible to obtain in vitro expression of the positively regulated malE gene encoding the periplasmic maltose-binding protein (MBP) of Escherichia coli. To facilitate in vitro malE...

Purification and characterization of cytidine 5'-triphosphate:cytidine 5'-monophosphate-3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate cytidylyltransferase.

Ray, P H, Benedict, C D, Grasmuk, H

Cytidine 5'-triphosphate:cytidine 5'-monophosphate-3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate cytidylyltransferase (CMP-KDO synthetase) was purified 2,300-fold from frozen Escherichia coli B cells. The enzyme...

Identification and purification of a recombinant Treponema pallidum basic membrane protein antigen expressed in Escherichia coli.

Dallas, W S, Ray, P H, Leong, J, Benedict, C D, Stamm, L V, Bassford, P J

A recombinant plasmid designated pLVS3 previously was described that harbored a 14-kilobase insert of Treponema pallidum genomic DNA. Escherichia coli maxicells programmed with this plasmid...

Purified secB protein of Escherichia coli retards folding and promotes membrane translocation of the maltose-binding protein in vitro.

Weiss, J B, Ray, P H, Bassford, P J

The efficient export of a subset of Escherichia coli envelope proteins is dependent upon the product of the secB gene. Previous studies indicated that SecB promotes the export of the periplasmic...

Purification and characterization of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthetase from Escherichia coli.

Ray, P H

3-Deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO)-8-phosphate synthetase has been purified 450-fold from frozen Escherichia coli B cells. The purified enzyme catalyzed the stoichiometric formation of...
