This search identified a previously undiscovered gene cluster encoding a new botulinum neurotoxin and
accessory proteins in the genome of a species of Enterococcus bacteria isolated from cow faeces.
Not exact matches
In this system bacteria secrete compounds called autoinducer peptides (AIPs) that are detected by receptor
proteins called
accessory gene regulator (Agr) kinases.
Two
accessory proteins orchestrate the Cpx - TCS: The periplasmic
protein CpxP inhibits the Cpx - TCS
in unstressed cells and detects misfolded envelope
proteins; the outer membrane lipoprotein NlpE activates the Cpx - TCS during biofilm formation.
A key advantage of the system is that Cre acts independently of any other
accessory proteins or co-factors, thus allowing for broad applications
in a variety of experiments.
Thus, some ECCMC
accessory proteins may play a role not only
in regulating excitation - contraction coupling but also as modifiers of the ryanodinopathies phenotype.
Accessory proteins have been identified
in the ejaculate fluid of many species, including humans.
