Although the mechanisms for regulation of ribosomal protein gene expression have been established for gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, the regulation of these genes in gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis has not yet been characterized. In this study, the B. subtilis rpsD gene, encoding ribosomal protein S4, was found to be subject to autogenous control. In E. coli, rpsD is located in the alpha operon, and S4 acts as the translational regulator for alpha operon expression, binding to a target site in the alpha operon mRNA. The target site for repression of B. subtilis rpsD by protein S4 was localized by deletion and oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis to the leader region of the monocistronic rpsD gene. The B. subtilis rpsD leader exhibits little sequence homology to the E. coli alpha operon leader but may be able to form a pseudoknotlike structure similar to that found in E. coli. 相似文献

Two mutants with different alterations in the electrophoretic mobility of ribosomal protein S4 were isolated as spore-plus revertants of a streptomycin-resistant, spore-minus strain of Bacillus subtilis. The mutations causing the S4 alterations, designated rpsD1 and rpsD2, were located between the argGH and aroG genes, at 263 degrees on the B. subtilis chromosome, distant from the major ribosomal protein gene cluster at 12 degrees. The mutant rpsD alleles were isolated by hybridization using a wild-type rpsD probe, and their DNA sequences were determined. The two mutants contained alterations at the same position within the S4-coding sequence, in a region containing a 12-bp tandem duplication; the rpsD1 allele corresponded to an additional copy of this repeated segment, resulting in the insertion of four amino acids, whereas the rpsD2 allele corresponded to deletion of one copy of this segment, resulting in the loss of four amino acids. The effects of these mutations, alone and in combination with streptomycin resistance mutations, on growth, sporulation, and streptomycin resistance were analyzed. 相似文献
