Expression in Escherichia coli of the cloned Spiroplasma citri spiralin gene results in the expression of a 30.5-kDa protein serologically related to spiralin. A protein with the same properties is also present in minor amounts in S. citri cells, suggesting that spiralin is first produced as a preprotein containing a signal polypeptide, which is removed during further processing. Hybridization experiments have demonstrated that pES1, the recombinant plasmid carrying the spiralin gene, can be used as a molecular probe, allowing the detection of S. citri DNA in infected plants and in insect cell cultures.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
