This property, together with limited DNA-binding specificity for the E box (CANNTG), makes them ideally suited for combinatorial control of gene expression. We tested the ability of all nine Saccharomyces cerevisiae bHLH proteins to regulate the enolase-encoding gene ENO1. ENO1 was known to be activated by the bHLH protein Sgc1p. Here we show that expression of an ENO1-lacZ reporter was also regulated by the other eight bHLH proteins, namely, Ino2p, Ino4p, Cbf1p, Rtg1p, Rtg3p, Pho4p, Hms1p, and Ygr290wp. ENO1-lacZ expression was also repressed by growth in inositol-choline-containing medium. Epistatic analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments showed that regulation by Sgc1p, Ino2p, Ino4p, and Cbf1p and repression by inositol-choline required three distal E boxes, E1, E2, and E3. The pattern of bHLH binding to the three E boxes and experiments with two dominant-negative mutant alleles of INO4 and INO2 support the model that bHLH dimer selection affects ENO1-lacZ expression. These results support the general model that bHLH proteins can coordinate different biological pathways via multiple mechanisms.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17351075?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Griffith, Kevin L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wolf, Richard E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Measuring beta-galactosidase activity in bacteria: cell growth, permeabilization, and enzyme assays in 96-well arrays.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochem Biophys Res Commun</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochem.

This procedure is unique because all manipulations, including bacterial growth and cell permeabilization, are performed in a 96-well format. Cells are permeabilized by chloroform/SDS treatment directly in the 96-well blocks and then transferred to 96-well microplates for standard colorimetric assay of beta-galactosidase activity as described by Miller [J. H. Miller (1972) Experiments in Molecular Genetics, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY]. Absorbance data are collected with a microplate reader and analyzed using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The beta-galactosidase specific activity values obtained with the high-throughput procedure are identical to those obtained by the traditional single-tube method of Miller. Thus, values obtained with this procedure may be expressed as Miller units and compared directly to Miller units reported in the literature. The 96-well format for permeabilization and assay of enzyme specific activity together with the use of 12-channel and repeater pipettors enables efficient processing of hundreds of samples in an 8-h day.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11779182?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, S J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Samra, H S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clark, A J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Differential suppression of priA2::kan phenotypes in Escherichia coli K-12 by mutations in priA, lexA, and dnaC.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacterial Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacteriophage phi X 174</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">beta-Galactosidase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosomes, Bacterial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA Helicases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA Replication</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA-Binding Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dose-Response Relationship, Radiation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Escherichia coli</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Escherichia coli Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genes, Bacterial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Markers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutagenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recombination, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Replication Protein A</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Repressor Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serine Endopeptidases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suppression, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transduction, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultraviolet Rays</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">143</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5-13</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">First identified as an essential component of the phi X174 in vitro DNA replication system, PriA has ATPase, helicase, translocase, and primosome-assembly activities. priA1::kan strains of Escherichia coli are sensitive to UV irradiation, deficient in homologous recombination following transduction, and filamentous. priA2::kan strains have eightfold higher levels of uninduced SOS expression than wild type. We show that (1) priA1::kan strains have eightfold higher levels of uninduced SOS expression, (2) priA2::kan strains are UVS and Rec-, (3) lexA3 suppresses the high basal levels of SOS expression of a priA2::kan strain, and (4) plasmid-encoded priA300 (K230R), a mutant allele retaining only the primosome-assembly activity of priA+, restores both UVR and Rec+ phenotypes to a priA2::kan strain. Finally, we have isolated 17 independent UVR Rec+ revertants of priA2::kan strains that carry extragenic suppressors. All 17 map in the C-terminal half of the dnaC gene. DnaC loads the DnaB helicase onto DNA as a prelude for primosome assembly and DNA replication. We conclude that priA's primosome-assembly activity is essential for DNA repair and recombination and that the dnaC suppressor mutations allow these processes to occur in the absence of priA.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8722757?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hegde, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, S J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clark, A J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Madiraju, M V</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">recO and recR mutations delay induction of the SOS response in Escherichia coli.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Gen Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

In this communication, by measuring the in vivo levels of LexA repressor using anti-LexA antibodies, we show that recO and recR mutant strains are also not proficient in LexA cleavage reactions. In addition, we show that recO and recR mutations delay induction of beta-galactosidase activity expressed from a lexA-regulated promoter following exposure of cells to UV, thus further supporting the idea that recF, recO and recR gene products are needed for induction of the SOS response.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7862097?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
