Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information the enzyme is encoded in an acid-induced operon Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
gene cadA from strain V02-64, DNA and amino acid sequence, and gene cluster and intergenic region determination and analysis, subcloning in Escherichia coli, quantitative analysis of lysine decarboxylase expression levels dependent on acid conditions at pH 4.0-7.5, primer extension analysis, the gene encoding the enzyme is located in an acid-induced operon, overview, cadA mRNA exhibited about 40fold greater expression at pH 5.0 than at pH 5.5, in cells exposed to pH 7.5, the cadA transcript shows the largest quantity under all conditions, the amount of cadA single transcript is nearly 100fold higher than the polycistronic cadBA transcript for each pH condition Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information construction of a cadA gene-inactivated strain from wild-type strain V02-64, serotype O3:K, by a plasmid integrated in its chromosome, single crossing over, acid resistance of the mutant strain at pH 4.0 in phosphate buffer is weaker than in the parental strain Vibrio parahaemolyticus
