Bacterial two-hybrid system is a newly developed method for studying protein-protein interactions. However, in our studies of the interaction of regulatory proteins in Streptomyces, it was found that the bacterial two-hybrid system is not sensitive enough by the blue-and-white selection on X-gal plate. To overcome this drawback, the reason of false positive clone was firstly determined, which was the disturbance of other direct or indirect regulation on lacZ promoter. Then the disturbance was diluted by introducing multicopy lacZ promoter, which drive another reporter gene gfp. By such design, the sensitivity of the modified bacterial two-hybrid system was significantly inproved and the two different reporters also help to decrease the rate of the false positive clones. Further the evaluation of the modifiedd bacterial two-hybrid system indicated that the sensitivity was significantly improved.

We have previously developed a transcription-based bacterial three-hybrid (B3H) assay as a genetic approach to probe RNA-protein interactions inside of E. coli cells. This system offers a straightforward path to identify and assess the consequences of mutations in RBPs with molecular phenotypes of interest.

The universal bacterial second messenger bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) plays critical roles in regulating a variety of bacterial functions such as biofilm formation and virulence. The metabolism of c-di-GMP is inversely controlled by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Recently, increasing studies suggested that the protein-protein interactions between DGCs/PDEs and their partners appear to be a common way to achieve specific regulation.

subsp. () possesses a -specific uter embrane rotein XAC1347 (OMP) that exerts a role in the expression of the type III secretion system for pathogenicity. In this study, we reported that OMP was required for salt stress tolerance and cell membrane integrity, as well as the expression of the genes for the production of extracellular polysaccharides.

Introduction: are the most common cause of food poisoning, which manifests itself in diarrhoea of varying severity. Additionally, because of the increasing number of people with immune deficiencies, more frequent serious complications of infections are being observed. The main source of infection is the consumption of contaminated poultry meat, which is a consequence of the insufficiency of current hygiene and biosecurity to control or eliminate it from the poultry food chain.
