Project description:Members of the genus Acinetobacter drag attention due to their importance in microbial pathology and biotechnology. OmpA is a porin with multifaceted functions in different species of Acinetobacter. In this study we identified this protein in Acinetobacter sp. SA01, an efficient phenol degrader strain, in different cellular and sub-cellular compartments (such as OM, OMV, biofilm and extracellular environment). Differential expression of proteins, including OmpA, under two conditions of phenol and ethanol supplementation was assessed using shotgun proteomics.
Project description:Studies of expression of mechanims of defense of the Acinetobacter sp.5-2Ac.02 from airborne hospital environment under stress conditions, such as SOS response (ROS response, heavy metals resistant mechanisms, peptides), as well as Quorum network (acetoin cluster and aromatics biodegradation cluster). Characterization functional of AcoN-like as negative regulator protein from acetoin cluster in Acinetobacter spp. Strains
Project description:To identify yeast proteins associated with Ty1 integrase (IN) that could regulate Ty1 replication, we co-purified IN partners using the tandem chromatin affinity purification procedure after in vivo cross-link (TChAP), which we developed previously (Nguyen et al. 2014). We first identified RNA Pol I and Pol III complexes and also a small subset of additional evolutionary conserved complexes, including PAF1 (Polymerase-Associated Factor 1),FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription), the proteasome and the CK2 kinase. We next confirmed that CK2 interacts with Ty1 integrase in vivo and repress Ty1 retromobility. We showed that Ty1 IN is a substrate of CK2 in vitro and identified 12 phosphorylated residues. In vivo approaches showed that only part of the protein was phosphorylated in the cells and did not demonstrate any direct evidence between Ty1 IN phosphorylation and retromobility inhibition.
