Journal ArticleDOI
Abiotic stress protection by ecologically abundant dimethylsulfoniopropionate and its natural and synthetic derivatives: insights from Bacillus subtilis
Sebastian Broy,Chiliang Chen,Tamara Hoffmann,Nelson L. Brock,Gabriele Nau-Wagner,Mohamed Jebbar,Mohamed Jebbar,Sander H. J. Smits,Jeroen S. Dickschat,Jeroen S. Dickschat,Erhard Bremer +10 more
TL;DR: It is found that DMSP is not a nutrient for B. subtilis, but it serves as an excellent stress protectant against challenges conferred by sustained high salinity or lasting extremes in both low and high growth temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene fusions using the ompA gene coding for a major outer-membrane protein of Escherichia coli K12.
TL;DR: A set of plasmids was prepared encoding 160, 193, 228, 274, and 280 NH2-terminal amino acids of the 325-residue OmpA protein and it is possible that the sequence incriminated acts as a stop signal for transfer through the plasma membrane thereby jamming export sites for other proteins and causing lethality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arg149 Is Involved in Switching the Low Affinity, Open State of the Binding Protein AfProX into Its High Affinity, Closed State.
Britta Tschapek,Marco Pittelkow,Linda Sohn-Bösser,Gudrun Holtmann,Sander H. J. Smits,Holger Gohlke,Erhard Bremer,Lutz Schmitt +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that a network of amino acid side chains communicates the presence of GB toward Arg149, which increases ligand affinity and induces domain closure of AfProX, and support the view that Arg149 finalizes the high-affinity state of the AfPro X substrate binding protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress responses ofBacillus subtilis to high osmolarity environments: Uptake and synthesis of osmoprotectants
Bettina Kempf,Erhard Bremer +1 more
TL;DR: The data show that the intracellular accumulation of osmoprotectants is of central importance for the cellular defence of B. subtilis against high osmolarity stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illuminating the catalytic core of ectoine synthase through structural and biochemical analysis.
Laura Czech,Astrid Höppner,Stefanie Kobus,Andreas Seubert,Ramona Riclea,Jeroen S. Dickschat,Johann Heider,Sander H. J. Smits,Erhard Bremer +8 more
TL;DR: The biochemical, mutational, and structural data reported here yielded detailed insight into the structure-function relationship of the (Pl)EctC enzyme and are relevant for a deeper understanding of the ectoine synthase family as a whole.
