Biochemical Modulation of 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine and 5-Iodo-2'-deoxyuridine Incorporation Into DNA in VX2 Tumor-Bearing Rabbits (1991)

Stetson, Philip L., Normolle, Daniel P., Knol, James A., Johnson, Norma J., Yang, Zhaomin, Sakmar, Ermelinda, ...

The thymidine analogues 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (Brd-Urd) and 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IdUrd) compete with thymidine for incorporation into the DNA of replicating cells. This incorporation results in...

5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation into DNA in hepatic VX2 tumor-bearing rabbits, (1989)

Knol, James A., Stetson, Philip L., Wagner, John G., Johnson, Norma J., Yang, Zhaomin, Prieskorn, Diane, ...

The halogenated pyrimidine 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd) possesses both radiosensitizing and antimetabolite effects through its incorporation as a thymidine analog in replicating DNA. To evaluate...

Effect of cellular filamentation on adventurous and social gliding motility of Myxococcus xanthus

Sun, Hong, Yang, Zhaomin, Shi, Wenyuan

Filamentous bacterial cells often provide biological information that is not readily evident in normal-size cells. In this study, the effect of cellular filamentation on gliding motility of...

Myxococcus xanthus dif Genes Are Required for Biogenesis of Cell Surface Fibrils Essential for Social Gliding Motility

Yang, Zhaomin, Ma, Xiaoyuan, Tong, Leming, Kaplan, Heidi B., Shimkets, Lawrence J., Shi, Wenyuan

Myxococcus xanthus social (S) gliding motility has been previously reported by us to require the chemotaxis homologues encoded by the dif genes. In addition, two cell surface structures, type IV pili...

A DnaK Homolog in Myxococcus xanthus Is Involved in Social Motility and Fruiting Body Formation

Yang, Zhaomin, Geng, Yongzhi, Shi, Wenyuan

Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative soil bacterium which exhibits a complex life cycle and social behavior. In this study, two developmental mutants of M. xanthus were isolated through Tn5...

Chemotaxis in Borrelia burgdorferi

Shi, Wenyuan, Yang, Zhaomin, Geng, Yongzhi, Wolinsky, Lawrence E., Lovett, Michael A.

Borrelia burgdorferi is a motile spirochete which has been identified as the causative microorganism in Lyme disease. The physiological functions which govern the motility of this organism have not...

Methylation of FrzCD Defines a Discrete Step in the Developmental Program of Myxococcus xanthus

Geng, Yongzhi, Yang, Zhaomin, Downard, John, Zusman, David, Shi, Wenyuan

Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative soil bacterium which undergoes fruiting body formation during starvation. The frz signal transduction system has been found to play an important role in this...

A CheW Homologue Is Required for Myxococcus xanthus Fruiting Body Development, Social Gliding Motility, and Fibril Biogenesis

Bellenger, Kristen, Ma, Xiaoyuan, Shi, Wenyuan, Yang, Zhaomin

In bacteria with multiple sets of chemotaxis genes, the deletion of homologous genes or even different genes in the same operon can result in disparate phenotypes. Myxococcus xanthus is a bacterium...

Myxococcus xanthus Chemotaxis Homologs DifD and DifG Negatively Regulate Fibril Polysaccharide Production

Black, Wesley P., Yang, Zhaomin

The extracellular matrix fibrils of Myxococcus xanthus are essential for the social lifestyle of this unusual bacterium. These fibrils form networks linking or encasing cells and are tightly...

Nitrate-Dependent Activation of the Dif Signaling Pathway of Myxococcus xanthus Mediated by a NarX-DifA Interspecies Chimera

Xu, Qian, Black, Wesley P., Ward, Scott M., Yang, Zhaomin

Myxococcus xanthus fibril exopolysaccharide (EPS), essential for the social gliding motility and development of this bacterium, is regulated by the Dif chemotaxis-like pathway. DifA, an MCP homolog,...
