PURIFICATION AND BINDING ANALYSIS OF THE NITROGEN FIXATION REGULATORY NIFA PROTEIN FROM AZOSPIRILLUM BRASILENSE

Purification and binding analysis of the nitrogen fixation regulatory NifA protein from Azospirillum brasilense

NifA protein activates transcription of nitrogen fixation operons by the alternative sigma54 holoenzyme form of RNA polymerase.This protein binds to a well-defined upstream activator sequence (UAS) located at the -200/-100 position of nif promoters with the consensus motif MASCARA CLASSIC BLACK #1305 TGT-N10-ACA.NifA of Azospirillum brasilense was

Comparative Genomics and Pathogenicity Analysis of Two Bacterial Symbionts of Entomopathogenic Nematodes: The Role of the GroEL Protein in Virulence

Bacteria of the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are symbionts of entomopathogenic Thermostat Palnut nematodes.Despite their close phylogenetic relationship, they show differences in their pathogenicity and virulence mechanisms in target insects.These differences were explored by the analysis of the pangenome, as it provides a framework for char
