    Short segment pyloric narrowing (1981)

    Notes: Abstract Short segment narrowing of the pyloric canal is a common finding in infants with chronic vomiting, and most often is due to pylorospasm. In such cases, it is transient, and offers no real problem in diagnosis. On the other hand, when it persists, a question arises as to whether it is due to fixed stenosis. Differentiation of the two conditions is difficult, but important, for while spasm can be treated medically, true stenosis requires surgical intervention. Just how to accomplish this differentiation is the subject of this report, and for the most part, centers around the infant's response to a therapeutic trial of antispasmodics. Patients with pylorospasm respond favorably, while those with fixed stenosis do not. Generally, these latter patients require polyromyotomy, but in the occasional infant, so little muscle hypertrophy is present that we have found pyloroplasty to be the preferred procedure.

    Catabolite regulation of two Escherichia coli operons encoding nitrite reductases: role of the Cra protein (1997)

    Notes: Abstract The Escherichia coli nir and nrf operons, which encode alternative nitrite reductases expressed during anaerobic growth, are subject to catabolite regulation. Transcription from the nir promoter is maximal when bacteria are grown in rich media such as Lennox broth supplemented with glucose. Conversely, expression of the nrf operon is suppressed by rich media, but stimulated during growth in minimal medium with glycerol and fumarate. The role of the catabolite repressor-activator (Cra) protein in catabolite regulation of the nir and nrf promoters was investigated. Transcription from the nir promoter was repressed by Cra when cells were grown in minimal medium with glycerol and fumarate. Crude protein extracts from a strain overproducing Cra encoded on a multicopy plasmid retarded a nir promoter fragment in a mobility shift assay, confirming that the observed Cra-dependent repression was due to the direct interaction of Cra with the regulatory region of the nir operon. Furthermore, the inclusion of fructose 1-phosphate, an effector of Cra DNA-binding activity, in the assay decreased the ability of Cra to retard the nir promoter fragment. In contrast, transcription from the nrf promoter was not regulated by Cra under any of the growth conditions tested.

    Effects of mutations in genes for proteins involved in disulphide bond formation in the periplasm on the activities of anaerobically induced electron transfer chains in Escherichia coli K12 (1996)

    Notes: Abstract  The assembly of anaerobically induced electron transfer chains in Escherichia coli strains defective in periplasmic disulphide bond formation was investigated. Strains deficient in DsbA, DsbB or DipZ (DsbD) were unable to catalyse formate-dependent nitrite reduction (Nrf activity) or synthesize any of the known c-type cytochromes. The Nrf+ activity and cytochrome c content of mutants defective in DsbC, DsbE or DsbF were similar to those of the parental, wild-type strain. Neither DsbC expressed from a multicopy plasmid nor a second mutation in dipZ (dsbD) was able to compensate for a dsbA mutation by restoring nitrite reductase activity and cytochrome c synthesis. In contrast, only the dsbB and dipZ (dsbD) strains were defective in periplasmic nitrate reductase activity, suggesting that DsbB might fulfil an additional role in anaerobic electron transport. Mutants defective in dipZ (dsbD) were only slightly more sensitive to Cu++ ions at concentrations above 5 mM than the parental strain, but strains defective in DsbA, DsbB, DsbC, DsbE or DsbF were unaffected. These results are consistent with our earlier proposals that DsbA, DsbB and DipZ (DsbD) are part of the same pathway for ensuring that haem groups are attached to the correct pairs of cysteine residues of apocytochromes c in the E. coli periplasm. However, neither DsbE nor DsbF are essential for the reduction of DipZ (DsbD).
