AlkB proteins are evolutionary conserved Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, which remove alkyl and highly promutagenic etheno(ɛ)-DNA adducts, but their substrate specificity has not been fully determined. We developed a novel assay for the repair of ɛ-adducts by AlkB enzymes using oligo
The Quorum Sensing Regulator CinR Hierarchically Regulates Two Other Quorum Sensing Pathways in Ligand-Dependent and -Independent Fashions in Rhizobium etli.
Journal of bacteriology.J Bacteriol.2015 May 1;197(9):1573-81. doi: 10.1128/JB.00003-15. Epub 2015 Feb 17.
Many rhizobial species use complex N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-based quorum sensing (QS) systems to monitor their population density and regulate their symbiotic interactions with their plant hosts. There are at least three LuxRI-type regulatory systems in Rhizobium etli CFN42: CinRI, RaiRI, and

Micro-RNAs are recognized as important posttranscriptional regulators in plants. The relevance of micro-RNAs as regulators of the legume-rhizobia nitrogen-fixing symbiosis is emerging. The objective of this work was to functionally characterize the role of micro-RNA172 (miR172) and its conserved tar
20 Aug 2010 ... Rhizobium Etli is one of the many soil-living bacteria able to live in conditions of nitrogen limitation due to its distinctive ability to settle onto root nodules of legumes. Like other rhizobia, it is characterized as aerobic, ...
