Effect of traY amber mutations on F-plasmid traY promoter activity in vivoP M Silverman
Program in Molecular and Cell Biology, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City 73104, USA
J Bacteriol 178:5787-9. 1996..Amber mutations in traY significantly reduced alkaline phosphatase activity. Since nonsense polarity effects were minimal, if they occurred at all, these data provide the first direct evidence that TraY regulates tra gene expression...
Towards a structural biology of bacterial conjugationP M Silverman
Program in Molecular and Cell Biology, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City 73104, USA
Mol Microbiol 23:423-9. 1997..We emphasize recent studies suggesting a specific domain organization for F-pilin and present a model of how these domains might be arranged in filament subunits...
Accumulation of the F plasmid TraJ protein in cpx mutants of Escherichia coliP M Silverman
Program in Molecular and Cell Biology, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City 73104
J Bacteriol 175:921-5. 1993....
Evidence that F-plasmid proteins TraV, TraK and TraB assemble into an envelope-spanning structure in Escherichia coliR L Harris
Program in Molecular and Cell Biology, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA
Mol Microbiol 42:757-66. 2001..We propose that TraV is the outer membrane anchor for a trans-envelope, Tra protein structure required for the assembly of F-pili and possibly for other events of conjugal DNA transfer...
Arc and Sfr functions of the Escherichia coli K-12 arcA gene product are genetically and physiologically separableP M Silverman
Program in Molecular and Cell Biology, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City 73104
J Bacteriol 173:5648-52. 1991..These data indicate that Sfr and Arc functions are separately expressed and regulated properties of the same protein...
The Cpx proteins of Escherichia coli K-12: evidence that cpxA, ecfB, ssd, and eup mutations all identify the same geneS Rainwater
Program in Molecular and Cell Biology, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City 73104
J Bacteriol 172:2456-61. 1990..On the basis of these data, we argue that cpxA, ecfB, eup, and ssd are all the same gene. We discuss the cellular function of the cpxA gene product in that light...
