  • Both tracrRNA and pre-crRNA confer immunity against acquisition of a protospacer gene derived from a lysogenic phage. (nature.com)
  • Fermentable carbon sources seem to have a particular role in virulence gene regulation. (ed.ac.uk)
  • Because of its unusual prevalence, global spread, and increased virulence, we investigated the unique features that likely confer its unusual properties. (cdc.gov)
  • Virulence-related Mycobacterium avium subsp hominissuis MAV_2928 gene is associated with vacuole remodeling in macrophages. (oregonstate.edu)
  • So far, one network which is involved in the regulation of listerial virulence, the PrfA regulon, has been characterized rather well. (ed.ac.uk)
  • The analysis of virulence gene expression in vivo, i.e. in infected host cells, indicates that yet uncharacterized bacterial factors other than PrfA, and possibly also host factors, modulate the expression of the PrfA regulon. (ed.ac.uk)
  • In this way, regulation of the transcription of all of the structural genes encoding the enzymes that catalyze the many steps in a single biochemical pathway can be controlled simultaneously, because they will either all be needed at the same time, or none will be needed. (pressbooks.pub)
  • Surprisingly, in vivo a similar increase in expression from the above promoters was observed for the mutant deficient in GltR regardless of the presence of effectors. (nih.gov)
  • This correlates with the loss of the negative auto-regulation in vivo: in transgenic plants constitutively overexpressing AtGRP7 (AtGRP7-ox), a shift occurs to an alternatively spliced AtGRP7 transcript that decays rapidly, and thus does not accumulate to high levels. (uni-bielefeld.de)
  • We then evaluated the growth and activity of the upstream regions by lux expression under different carbon sources and iron deprivation. (usp.br)
