Genes are transcribed in polysictronic messages (pre-mRNA) that are destined for either maturation into mRNAs, or degradation. Since transcription regulation is non-existent with few exceptions, the rate of pre-mRNA processing, together with mRNA decay and translation rates, are believed to control gene expression. In this assay, 2T1 blood form trypanosomes are subject to treatment by ActinomycinD for 5 minutes, inhibiting transcription. The cells are harvested, depleted for ribosomal RNA, and ...

Enzymes involved in butanediol formation from pyruvate in L. Lactis and E. faecalis were characterized with respect to their Km's for their substrates and their Vmaxes

L. lactis, E. faecalis and S. pyogenes are referred to as LAB because of the fact that in the presence of glucose lactate is produced as the main fermentation product . This metabolic pathway is relatively inefficient, since only 2 ATP are generated from one glucose molecule. All three LAB possess the genetic make up for mixed acid fermentation, a more effective way of fermentation generating 3 ATP per molecule of glucose. All three genomes reveal (at least) two genes encoding a lactate dehydrogenase ...

Modelling the degradation of BPG, GAP and DHAP at high temperature

The stressosome is an important sensor of environmental stresses in B. subtilis. It is formed by three protein types that form an icosahedral geometric protein complex. There are uncertanties how protein interactions take place, what the effects on the response behaviour of activation and inhibition of phosphorylation among proteins is, and what kind of proximal signal activates the stressosome in the first place. To answer these questions a computational modelling approach was developed. This ...

There occurs an unexpected drop in the beta-Gal activity after sigB induction. This modelling effort aims to clarify the reasons.

The dynamic model describes response of yeast metabolic network on metabolic perturbation (i.e. glucose-pulse). One compartmental ODE-based model of yeast anaerobic metabolism includes: glycolysis, pentose phosphate reactions, purine de novo synthesis pathway, purine salvage reactions, redox reactions and biomass growth. The model describes metabolic perturbation of steady state growing cells in chemostat.

Pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) is an important enzyme in the metabolic pathway of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and is held responsible for the regulation of the shift between homolactic acid to mixed acid fermentation. PFL catalysis the reversible reaction of acetyl-CoA and formate into pyruvate and CoA. A glycyl radical, who is regenerated within the reaction, is involved; therefore, PFL works only under strictly anaerobic conditions. For its activation, the C-terminal domain has to bind to the ...

Using TFinfer2 to analyse data from "Characterization of MG1655 and mutant strains under conditions of glucose excess and limitation"

The main input is the ENA review paper (Function and Regulation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ENA Sodium ATPase System, Ruiz&Ariño 2007) and the papers referenced. Another source are the papers linked from the ENA page of SGD http://www.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/locus.fpl?locus=ENA1

A boolean network was created using booleannet (after experimenting with Squad and CellNetAnalyzer). This network can be simulated and visualized using additional software components that will be part of the pyMantis CMS that is developed by the Translucent project.

A interaction network analysis tool (currently based on the BioGrid - PSICQUIC web services) was created that helps to discover interactions of Yeast proteins. The tool will at some point be freely available on the www as part of the pyMantis CMS created within the Translucent project.

Based on a kinetic model a description of the potassium current is achieved. Its properties with respect to changes in membrane potential and potassium concentrations are derived.

Proton fluxes ensue a change in the membrane potential to which the potassium uptake responds. The membrane potential changes depend on the extrusion of protons, buffering capacities of the media and experimental parametes.

Analytical methods and computational analyses (regression, fitting) will be employed to find properties of the Trk system under different external conditions.
