Disease relevance of ppk

 

High impact information on ppk

 

Chemical compound and disease context of ppk

  • Active inclusion bodies of recombinant polyphosphate kinase were obtained by simple washing of Escherichia coli cells with nonionic detergent and then they were immobilized in agar/TiO2 beads [8].
 

Biological context of ppk

 

Anatomical context of ppk

  • PPK has been purified from overproducing cells after release from attachment to the cell outer membrane; the purified soluble PPK reassociate with cell membrane fractions [10].
 

Associations of ppk with chemical compounds

  • In contrast, the mutant strain carrying multiple copies of ppk and ppx produced 1/20 of the polyphosphate found in the strain carrying multiple copies of ppk only and showed no significant increase in doubling time over the same cadmium concentration range [11].
 

Regulatory relationships of ppk

 

Other interactions of ppk

  • An E. coli strain deleted for the ppk gene showed increased stability of the ompA mRNA [14].
  • In addition, a strain containing multiple copies of ppk accumulated not only a large amount of poly(P) but also recA mRNA [13].
