Abstract:
ABSTRACT Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) recombination occurs during reverse transcription when parts of the two copackaged RNAs are used as templates for DNA synthesis. It was previously hypothesized that HIV-1 Gag polyproteins preferentially encapsidate the RNA from which they were translated (cis-packaging hypothesis). This hypothesis implies that mutants encoding Gag that cannot efficiently package viral RNA are selected against at two levels: these mutants do not generate infectious virus, and these mutants are not efficiently rescued by the wild-type virus because the mutant

Abstract:
We have recently demonstrated that HIV-1 RT mutants characterized by low dNTP binding affinity display significantly reduced dNTP incorporation kinetics in comparison to wild-type RT. This defect is particularly emphasized at low dNTP concentrations where WT RT remains capable of efficient synthesis. Kinetic interference in DNA synthesis can induce RT pausing and slow down the synthesis rate. RT stalling and slow synthesis rate can enhance RNA template cleavage by RT-RNase H, facilitating transfer of the primer to a homologous template. We therefore hypothesized that reduced dNTP binding RT mu

ABSTRACTCatheter-associated urinary tract infections are biofilm-mediated infections that cause a significant economic and health burden in nosocomial environments. Using a newly developed murine model of this type of infection, we investigated the role of fimbriae in implant-associated urinary tract infections by the Gram-negative bacteriumKlebsiella pneumoniae, which is a proficient biofilm former and a commonly isolated nosocomial pathogen. Studies have shown that type 1 and type 3 fimbriae are involved in attachment and biofilm formationin vitro, and these fimbrial types are suspected to b

ABSTRACT Myxococcus xanthus cells move on a solid surface by gliding motility. Several genes required for gliding motility have been identified, including those of the A- and S-motility systems as well as the mgl and frz genes. However, the cellular defects in gliding movement in many of these mutants were unknown. We conducted quantitative, high-resolution single-cell motility assays and found that mutants defective inmglAB or in cglB, an A-motility gene, reversed the direction of gliding at frequencies which were more than 1 order of magnitude higher than that of wild type cells (2.9 min−1fo

The human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori expresses several putative outer-membrane proteins (OMPs), but the role of individual OMPs in colonization of the stomach by H. pylori is still poorly understood. The role of four such OMPs (AlpA, AlpB, OipA and HopZ) in a guinea pig model of H. pylori infection has been investigated. Single alpA, alpB, hopZ and oipA isogenic mutants were constructed in the guinea pig-adapted, wild-type H. pylori strain GP15. Guinea pigs were inoculated intragastrically with the wild-type strain, single mutants or a mixture of the wild-type and a single mutant in

ABSTRACT Among retroviruses, lentiviruses are unusual in their ability to efficiently infect both dividing and nondividing cells, such as activated T cells and macrophages, respectively. Recent studies implicate the viral capsid protein (CA) as a key determinant of cell-cycle-independent infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). We investigated the effects of the host cell protein cyclophilin A (CypA), which binds to HIV-1 CA, on HIV-1 infection of nondividing cells.

Numerous components of the cAMP-based signaling cascade, namely G-proteins and G- protein coupled receptors, adenylyl cyclase, and protein kinase A (PKA) have been localized to caveolae and shown to be regulated by the caveolar marker proteins, the caveolins. In order to gain mechanistic insights into these processes in vivo, we have assessed the functional interaction of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) with PKA using mutational analysis. As two regions of Cav-1 had previously been implicated in PKA signaling in vitro, we constructed Cav-1 molecules with mutations/deletions in one or both of these domains.
