A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Clostridium difficile en microscopie à contraste de phase. On distingue des bactéries sporulées, non sporulées et d'autres en cours de lyse (destruction). Bactérie de l'environnement (sol, eau, foin, sable), elle est à l'origine d'infections nosocomiales survenant après un traitement antibiotique : Clostridium difficile prédomine alors que les autres bactéries de la flore intestinale ont été détruites. L'infection peut provoquer deux types de pathologies graves : les colites pseudo-membraneuses dont l'origine est quasiment due à 100 % à C. difficile et la diarrhée post-antibiothérapie due à C. difficile dans 30 % des cas de ces diarrhées.

Transcription of the levanase operon of Bacillus subtilis is controlled by LevR, an activator of the NifA/NtrC family of regulators. An upstream activating sequence (UAS) located in a 16 bp palindromic structure has previously been characterized. LevR was overproduced in B. subtilis and interaction between the activator and the UAS was demonstrated by gel shift and footprint experiments. The LevR protein specifically binds to the two-halves of the palindromic structure centered at -125 bases upstream from the transcriptional start site. In addition, footprint analysis suggests that LevR interacts with a third DNA region located at positions -90 to -80. To investigate the function of the different domains of the LevR activator, stop codons were introduced at various positions in the levR gene. The ability of the truncated LevR polypeptides to activate transcription, to respond to the inducer or to interact with the UAS was tested. The results obtained suggest that LevR is a multidomain protein. The amino-terminal part of the protein is required for DNA binding whereas the central domain allows the activation of transcription. The carboxy-terminal region is involved in the modulation of the LevR activity by the inducer.
