Genetic and biochemical analysis of the interaction of Bacillus subtilis CodY with branched-chain amino acids.

9 Sep 2009 Bacillus subtilis CodY protein is a DNA-binding global transcriptional regulator that responds to branched-chain amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, and valine) and GTP. Crystal structure studies have shown that the N-terminal region of the protein ... Read more...

Branched-chain amino acids are required for the survival and virulence of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in swine.

22 Aug 2009 In Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, which causes porcine pleuropneumonia, ilvI was identified as an in vivo-induced (ivi) gene and encodes the enzyme acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) required for branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) biosynthesis. ilvI ... Read more...

Legumes regulate Rhizobium bacteroid development and persistence by the supply of branched-chain amino acids.

11 Jul 2009 One of the largest contributions to biologically available nitrogen comes from the reduction of N(2) to ammonia by rhizobia in symbiosis with legumes. Plants supply dicarboxylic acids as a carbon source to bacteroids, and in return they receive ... Read more...
