Journal ArticleDOI

Melanin production and use as a soluble electron shuttle for Fe(III) oxide reduction and as a terminal electron acceptor by Shewanella algae BrY.

TL;DR: Melanin produced by S. algae BrY imparts increased versatility to this organism as a soluble Fe(III) reductant, an electron conduit for iron mineral reduction, and a sole terminal electron acceptor that supports growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular characterization of an anion pump. The ArsB protein is the membrane anchor for the ArsA protein.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented showing that expression of the arsB gene is required to anchor the ArsA protein to the inner membrane, and binding studies with purified ArsA to membranes with and without the arSB gene product confirm this requirement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane topology of the ArsB protein, the membrane subunit of an anion-translocating ATPase.

TL;DR: To localize individual segments of the ArsB protein, a ternary fusion method was developed, where portions of the arsB gene were inserted in-frame between the coding regions for two heterologous proteins, in this case a portion of a newly identified arsD gene and the blaM sequence encoding the mature beta-lactamase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the metalloregulatory element of the plasmid-encoded arsenical resistance operon

TL;DR: The regulatory region of the plasmid-encoded arsenical resistance (ars) operon was cloned as a 727-bp EcoRI-HindIII fragment, indicating that the fragment carried a regulatory gene, the arsR gene, which was used to produce antibodies specific for the ArsR protein.
