The PhoP-PhoQ two-component system is necessary for the virulence of Salmonella spp. and is responsible for regulating several modifications of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mutagenesis of the transcriptional regulator phoP resulted in the identification of a mutant able to activate transcription

Polymyxin-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium accumulate a novel minor lipid that can donate 4-amino-4-deoxy-l-arabinose units (l-Ara4N) to lipid A. We now report the purification of this lipid from a pss(-) pmrA(C) mutant of E. coli and assign

The effects of two myristic acid analogs on Junin virus (JV) replication were investigated. The compounds chosen for the study were DL-2-hydroxymyristic acid (2OHM), an inhibitor of N-myristoyltransferase (NMT), which binds the enzyme and blocks protein myristoylation, and 13-oxamyristic acid

Determination of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Caulobacter subvibrioides ATCC 15264T (T = type strain) confirmed that this species is a member of the alpha subclass of the Proteobacteria and showed that it is phylogenetically most closely related to

Lipid A molecules of certain Gram-negative bacteria, including Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, may contain secondary S-2-hydroxyacyl chains. S. typhimurium has recently been shown to synthesize its S-2-hydroxymyristate-modified lipid A in a PhoP/PhoQ-dependent manner, suggesting a possible role for the
