13. Studies of Single-Chain Antibody Expression in Quiescent Escherichia coli
Quiescent Escherichia coli cells are generated by overexpressing the Rcd transcript in an hns-205 mutant host. The resulting nongrowing, metabolically active cells were used here to express a single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) in shake flask and fermentor cultures. The expression system is based on two plasmids; one carries the product gene expressed from

14. The Erwinia chrysanthemi pecT gene regulates pectinase gene expression.
A new type of Erwinia chrysanthemi mutant displaying a derepressed synthesis of pectate lyase was isolated. The gene mutated in these strains, pecT, encodes a 316-amino-acid protein with a size of 34,761 Da that belongs to the LysR family of transcriptional activators and presents 61% identity with the E. coli protein LrhA. PecT represses the expression of p

15. Molecular cloning of Erwinia chrysanthemi pectinase and cellulase structural genes
Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 secretes four major pectate lyase isoenzymes (PL, EC 4.2.2.2) and one endocellulase (Cx, EC 3.2.1.4). A genomic library of this strain was constructed in the Lambda L47-1 vector, and screened for the presence of PL and Cx on pectate and caboxymethylcellulose agar. Among the seven Cx-positive phage clones, three were shown to encode

16. The cyclic AMP receptor protein is the main activator of pectinolysis genes in Erwinia chrysanthemi.
The main virulence factors of the phytopathogenic bacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi are pectinases that cleave pectin, a major constituent of the plant cell wall. Although physiological studies suggested that pectinase production in Erwinia species is subjected to catabolite repression, the direct implication of the cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) in this reg

17. Pectate lyase PelI of Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 belongs to a new family.
Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 secretes five major isoenzymes of pectate lyases encoded by the pel4, pelB, pelC, pelD, and pelE genes and a set of secondary pectate lyases, two of which, pelL and pelZ, have been already identified. We cloned the pelI gene, encoding a ninth pectate lyase of E. chrysanthemi 3937. The pelI reading frame is 1,035 bases long, correspo

18. Characterization of the Exopolygalacturonate Lyase PelX of Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937
Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 secretes several pectinolytic enzymes, among which eight isoenzymes of pectate lyases with an endo-cleaving mode (PelA, PelB, PelC, PelD, PelE, PelI, PelL, and PelZ) have been identified. Two exo-cleaving enzymes, the exopolygalacturonate lyase, PelX, and an exo-poly-α-d-galacturonosidase, PehX, have been previously identified in o
