Regulation of the xyl gene operons of the Pseudomonas putida TOL plasmid is mediated by the products of the downstream clustered and divergently oriented xylR and xylS regulatory genes. The xylR-xylS intergenic region contains the xylR and xylS promoters Pr and Ps, respectively. A binding site for the XylR activator protein is located upstream of Ps and overlapping Pr. DNase I footprint experiments showed that one of these sites, which overlaps the recognition site for XylR activator, as well as an AT-rich region comprising the Ps promoter consensus were protected by integration host factor (IHF). IHF was found to act negatively in the in vivo activation of the Ps promoter, since the activity of a Ps promoter::lacZ fusion was elevated in an Escherichia coli mutant lacking IHF. In contrast, no alteration in the synthesis of XylR protein in the E. coli IHF-deficient mutant was detected.  相似文献

We have previously reported that two genes cloned from a cosmid library of Escherichia coli can restore mucoidy to an algR2 mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa . AlgR2 is a protein involved in the regulation of nucleoside diphosphate kinase (Ndk) as well as alginate synthesis in P. aeruginosa . One of the E. coli genes, rnk , encodes a 14.9 kDa protein with no homology to any other proteins. The other gene, sspA , encodes the stringent starvation protein, a regulatory protein involved in stationary-phase regulation and the stringent response of E. coli . While both rnk and sspA restored alginate production to the P. aeruginosa algR2 mutant, only rnk restored Ndk activity to the mutant. In this report, we have examined the effect of mutations in rnk and sspA on the levels of Ndk in E. coli . We find that a mutation in rnk drastically reduces the level of Ndk in E. coli . A mutation in sspA , however, affects the level of another nucleoside diphosphate kinase distinct from Ndk. The proteins can be easily distinguished from each other by their different affinities for nucleoside diphosphates (NDPs) and also by the differential effect of anti-Ndk antibodies on the reactions they catalyse. The ability of either of these two proteins to restore alginate synthesis in the algR2 mutant of P. aeruginosa demonstrates the importance of nucleoside triphosphate synthesis and energy metabolism for alginate synthesis. Additionally, a role for the stringent starvation protein (SspA) in the modulation of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) levels in E. coli is also suggested from these experiments.  相似文献
