Disease relevance of Lactococcus

  • Here, we developed a highly efficient Escherichia coli genetic assay to determine detailed target site recognition rules for the Lactococcus lactis group II intron Ll.LtrB and to select introns that insert into desired target sites [1].
  • Treatment of murine colitis by Lactococcus lactis secreting interleukin-10 [2].
  • Comparative molecular modeling was performed with repressor protein Rro of the temperate Lactococcus lactis bacteriophage r1t using the known 3D-structures of related repressors in order to obtain thermolabile derivatives of Rro [3].
  • Genetically modified Lactococcus lactis secreting interleukin 10 provides a therapeutic approach for inflammatory bowel disease [4].
  • The discovery and characterization of insertion sequences in Lactobacillus and Lactococcus and the exploitation of heterologous conjugation and transposition systems in the lactic acid bacteria are described [5].
 

High impact information on Lactococcus

  • To address the mechanism by which group II introns are disseminated, we have studied the bacterial L1.LtrB intron from Lactococcus lactis [6].
  • The Lactococcus lactis group II intron Ll.ltrB is similar to mobile yeast mtDNA group II introns, which encode reverse transcriptase, RNA maturase, and DNA endonuclease activities for site-specific DNA insertion [7].
  • Here, we show that the primary binding site for the maturase (LtrA) encoded by the Lactococcus lactis Ll.LtrB intron is within a region of intron domain IV that includes the start codon of the LtrA ORF [8].
  • We report the engineering of Lactococcus lactis to produce the amino acid L-alanine [9].
  • Here, we identify the major exonuclease in Lactococcus lactis, a Gram-positive organism evolutionarily distant from E. coli, and provide evidence for exonuclease-Chi interactions [10].
