About the Book

Bacteria are remarkable in their ability to adapt to environmental conditions that are continually in flux between growth-promoting and growth-limiting. Responses to a host of environmental situations are equally varied, ranging from the secretion of antimicrobial compounds and polymer degrading enzymes, to the up-regulation of alternative cellular developmental pathways leading to complete physiological transformation. In endospore forming bacteria this results in a metabolically inert, yet highly resistant endospore. The first study presented here deals with the NMR structural and dynamic characterization of a class of proteins in Bacillus subtilis known as transition-state regulators, responsible for global gene regulation during the transition from the vegetative mode of growth to the semi-quiescent stationary phase. The utilization of protein-DNA docking protocols further allows for the first description of a structural model for the interaction between these DNA-binding proteins and a cognate DNA promoter sequence. The later portions of this dissertation deal with the characterization of proteins involved in the ubiquitous bacterial signal transduction system known as the two-component signal transduction pathway. In the basic two-component signal transduction paradigm, an environmental signal is detected by a multi-domain sensor kinase that, via phosphorylation, activates a response regulator protein for its cellular role (be it DNA-binding, RNA-binding, enzymatic, etc.). In the second study, a comparative modeling analysis of the predicted receiver domains the response regulators from Vibrio vulnificus YJ016 was performed, using the hydrophobic characteristics of the response regulator surface known to interact with the four-helix bundle of the cognate sensor kinase as the basis for sub-classification. In the final study, a new mass spectrometric technique to detail the structural changes in proteins resulting from oxidative damage was applied to the single domain response regulator Spo0F from B. subtilis.
