Bacillus subtilis polynucleotide phosphorylase 3'-to-5' DNase activity is involved in DNA repair (2009)

Cardenas, Paula P., Carrasco, Begoña, Sanchez, Humberto, Deikus, Gintaras, Bechhofer, David H, Alonso, Juan C

In the presence of Mn2+, an activity in a preparation of purified Bacillus subtilis RecN degrades single-stranded (ss) DNA with a 3′ → 5′ polarity. This activity is not associated with RecN...

Recycling of a regulatory protein by degradation of the RNA to which it binds

Deikus, Gintaras, Babitzke, Paul, Bechhofer, David H.

When Bacillus subtilis is grown in the presence of excess tryptophan, transcription of the trp operon is regulated by binding of tryptophan-activated TRAP to trp leader RNA, which promotes...

Constrained Analysis of Fluorescence Anisotropy Decay:Application to Experimental Protein Dynamics

Feinstein, Efraim, Deikus, Gintaras, Rusinova, Elena, Rachofsky, Edward L., Ross, J. B. Alexander, Laws, William R.

Hydrodynamic properties as well as structural dynamics of proteins can be investigated by the well-established experimental method of fluorescence anisotropy decay. Successful use of this method...

Adaptive Gene Expression in Bacillus subtilis Strains Deleted for tetL

Wei, Yi, Deikus, Gintaras, Powers, Benjamin, Shelden, Victor, Krulwich, Terry A., Bechhofer, David H.

The growth properties of a new panel of Bacillus subtilis tetL deletion strains and of a derivative set of strains in which tetL is restored to the chromosome support earlier indications that...

Role of Bacillus subtilis RNase J1 Endonuclease and 5′-Exonuclease Activities in trp Leader RNA Turnover*

Deikus, Gintaras, Condon, Ciarán, Bechhofer, David H.

The 140-nucleotide trp leader RNA, which is formed by transcription termination under conditions of high intracellular tryptophan, was used to study RNA turnover in Bacillus subtilis. We showed in...
