Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
gentamicin induces lon protease by subinhibitory concentrations Pseudomonas aeruginosa
tobramycin induces lon protease by subinhibitory concentrations Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics induce a set of genes, e.g. lon protease, that are likely to affect the interaction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with host cells. lon protease is essential for biofilm formation and motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
ORF of the lon gene PA1803 PCR-amplified and cloned into vector TopoBlunt. HindIII-XbaI fragment containing the lon gene ligated into vector pBBR1-MCS5, transformed into Escherichia coli XL-1 Blue and subsequently into Escherichia coli S17-1 for mobilization into Pseudomonas aeruginosa 74-D9 through conjugation Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
