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...

Accessing ns-micros side chain dynamics in ubiquitin with methyl RDCs.

2 Aug 2009 This study presents the first application of the model-free analysis (MFA) (Meiler in J Am Chem Soc 123:6098-6107, 2001; Lakomek in J Biomol NMR 34:101-115, 2006) to methyl group RDCs measured in 13 different alignment media in order to describe ... Read more...
