P22 antirepressor protein prevents in vivo recA-dependent proteolysis of P22 repressor. 1983

H H Prell, and A M Harvey

A method was developed to demonstrate recA-dependent P22-repressor breakdown in vivo by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis of unfractionated extracts of phage-infected, lysogenic Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1530 rec+ and TA1530 recA1-. The antirepressor of P22 is not cleaved by recA protein. Under conditions of unregulated ant-overproduction (Harvey et al. 1981) antirepressor protects c2-repressor in vivo against proteolytic cleavage by recA protein.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011938	Rec A Recombinases	A family of recombinases initially identified in BACTERIA. They catalyze the ATP-driven exchange of DNA strands in GENETIC RECOMBINATION. The product of the reaction consists of a duplex and a displaced single-stranded loop, which has the shape of the letter D and is therefore called a D-loop structure.

D012097	Repressor Proteins	Proteins which maintain the transcriptional quiescence of specific GENES or OPERONS. Classical repressor proteins are DNA-binding proteins that are normally bound to the OPERATOR REGION of an operon, or the ENHANCER SEQUENCES of a gene until a signal occurs that causes their release.
