− | === | + | |
This DNA sequence codes Lysine descarboxylase (Streptomyces) is an enzyme from the lyase family that converts lysine to cadaverin. The enzyme realizes the carbonyl group of the lysin amino acid. There is cadeverin producing (1,5-diaminopentane), a primary diamine which alkaline environment. The lysine decarboxylase is an enzyme induced the synthesis of which is promoted by anaerobiosis and an acidic pH. | This DNA sequence codes Lysine descarboxylase (Streptomyces) is an enzyme from the lyase family that converts lysine to cadaverin.

− | CsgA is the major and structural subunit of the curli fimbriae. Curli are coiled surface structures that assemble preferentially at growth temperatures below 37 degrees Celsius. Curli are the major proteinaceous component of a complex extracellular matrix produced by many Enterobacteriaceae. Curli were first discovered in the late 1980s on Escherichia coli strains that caused bovine mastitis, and have since been implicated in many physiological and pathogenic processes of E. coli and Salmonella spp. Curli fibers are involved in adhesion to surfaces, cell aggregation, and biofilm formation. Curli also mediate host cell adhesion and invasion, and they are potent inducers of the host inflammatory response. | + | CsgA is the major and structural subunit of the curli fimbriae.
