  • Czym jest prawdopodobieństwo?

    Publication

    - Year 2009

    Wszyscy posługujemy się pojęciem prawdopodobieństwa. Mówienie o miarach probabilistycznych na sigma-ciałach i o przestrzeniach probabilistycznych nie odpowiada jednak na pytanie, czym prawdopodobieństwo właściwie jest. Nie mówiąc nic miłego o aksjomatach, opowiem jak na pytanie "czym jest prawdopodobieństwo?" odpowiadali matematycy-filozofowie.

  • Phosphorylation‐mediated regulation of heat shock response in Escherichia coli

    Publication

    - MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY - Year 2003

    Escherichia coli has two heat shock regulons under the transcriptional control of Esigma(32) and Esigma(E) RNA polymerases. These polymerases control the expression of genes, the products of which are needed for correct folding of proteins in the cytoplasm and the extracytoplasm respectively. In this study, we report that mutations in a tyrosine phosphatase-encoding gene led to decreased activity of these heat shock regulons. The...

  • Multiple transcriptional factors regulate transcription of the rpoE gene in Escherichia coli under different growth conditions and when the lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis is defective.

    The RpoE sigma factor is essential for the viability of Escherichia coli. RpoE regulates extracytoplasmic functions including lipopolysaccharide (LPS) translocation and some of its non-stoichiometric modifications. Transcription of the rpoE gene is positively autoregulated by EσE and by unknown mechanisms that control the expression of its distally located promoter(s).
