Filamentation is the anomalous growth of certain bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, in which cells continue to elongate but do not divide (no septa formation). [1] [2] The cells that result from elongation without division have multiple chromosomal copies. [1]
Escherichia coli (/ ˌ ɛ ʃ ə ˈ r ɪ k i ə ˈ k oʊ l aɪ / ESH-ə-RIK-ee-ə KOH-lye) [1] [2] is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms.
EF-Tu is a monomeric protein with molecular weight around 43 kDa in Escherichia coli. [24] [25] [26] The protein consists of three structural domains: a GTP-binding domain and two oligonucleotide-binding domains, often referred to as domain 2 and domain 3. The N-terminal domain I of EF-Tu is the GTP-binding domain.
See Figure 4 of D. M. Prescott, and P. L. Kuempel (1972): A grain track produced by an E. coli chromosome from cells labeled for 19 min with [3H] thymine, followed by labeling for 2.5 min with [3H]thymine and ['H]thymidine. . The E. coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is a 900 kD complex, possessing an essentially a dimeric structure.
Although it is often studied in the model organism E. coli, other bacteria show many similarities. [2] Replication is bi-directional and originates at a single origin of replication (OriC). [3] It consists of three steps: Initiation, elongation, and termination. [4] Bidirectional Theta type replication. Most circular bacterial chromosomes are ...
Elongation factor 4 (EF-4) is an elongation factor that is thought to back-translocate on the ribosome during the translation of RNA to proteins. It is found near-universally in bacteria [ 1 ] and in eukaryotic endosymbiotic organelles including the mitochondria and the plastid .
EF-G (elongation factor G, historically known as translocase) is a prokaryotic elongation factor involved in mRNA translation. As a GTPase , EF-G catalyzes the movement (translocation) of transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) through the ribosome .
EF-Ts and EF-Tu dimer forming the elongation factor complex full structure. The protein Qβ-Replicase is a tetrameric protein, meaning it contains four subunits. These subunits are the two elongation factors, EF-Tu & EF-Ts, the ribosomal protein subunit S1, and the RNA dependent RNA polymerase β-subunit.
