Journal ArticleDOI
Switches in bacteriophage lambda development.
TL;DR: How a relatively simple phage like lambda employs a complex genetic network in decision-making processes, providing a challenge for theoretical modeling is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of a bacterial chitinase at 2.3 Å resolution
Anastassis Perrakis,Ivo Tews,Zbigniew Dauter,Amos B. Oppenheim,Ilan Chet,Keith S. Wilson,Constantin E. Vorgias +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of chitinase A from Serratia marcescens has been solved by multiple isomorphous replacement and refined at 2.3 A resolution, resulting in a crystallographic R-factor of 16.2%.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Thylakoid FtsH Protease Plays a Role in the Light-Induced Turnover of the Photosystem II D1 Protein
Marika Lindahl,Cornelia Spetea,Cornelia Spetea,Torill Hundal,Torill Hundal,Amos B. Oppenheim,Zach Adam,Bertil Andersson,Bertil Andersson +8 more
TL;DR: This study definitively identifies the chloroplast protease acting on the D1 protein during its light-induced turnover, and represents a novel class of FtsH substrate— functionally assembled proteins that have undergone irreversible photooxidative damage and cleavage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial chitobiase structure provides insight into catalytic mechanism and the basis of Tay-Sachs disease.
Ivo Tews,Anastassis Perrakis,Amos B. Oppenheim,Zbigniew Dauter,Keith S. Wilson,Constantin E. Vorgias +5 more
TL;DR: The structure of Serratia marcescens chitobiase allows the catalytic domain of the homologous hexosaminidases to give a structural rationale to pathogenic mutations that underlie Tay–Sachs and Sandhoff disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombineering: Genetic Engineering in Bacteria Using Homologous Recombination
Lynn C. Thomason,Donald L. Court,Mikail Bubunenko,Nina Costantino,Helen R. Wilson,Simanti Datta,Amos B. Oppenheim +6 more
TL;DR: Support protocols are presented that describe several two‐step selection/counter‐selection methods of making genetic alterations without leaving any unwanted changes in the targeted DNA, and a method for retrieving onto a plasmid a genetic marker from the Escherichia coli chromosome or a co‐electroporated DNA fragment.
