The synthesis of stable RNA in bacteria is known to be regulated by a stringent control mechanism. Characteristic of stringent-regulated promoters, all ribosomal RNA promoters P1, but not P2, contain a GC-rich discriminator sequence assumed to be important for such a control. Using site-directed mutagenesis we have altered both the rrnB P2 and the synthetic tac promoter to the consensus GCGC discriminator motif. The modified promoters were placed upstream of the structural gene encoding the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase. The response of the modified promoters to amino acid starvation, changes in the growth rate or differences in the basal level of guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) were determined in vivo. The results clearly show, that the discriminator motif is sufficient to convert the ribosomal RNA promoter P2 to a stringent, as well as growth-rate regulated, promoter. By contrast, the same discriminator sequence linked to the synthetic tac promoter does not convert this promoter to either stringency or growth-rate regulation. Finally, the results presented in this study reinforce the view that stringent and growth-rate regulation utilize the same mechanism, with ppGpp being the common mediator. 相似文献

Hybrid promoter constructs were used to determine the DNA sequence requirements for stringent and growth rate control within a promoter region. The promoters were obtained by fusing complementing sequence regions located upstream and downstream from the GCGC discriminator motif of the growth rate regulated rRNA P1 promoter and a non-regulated tac promoter variant. The activities and the regulatory response of the hybrid promoters were determined in vivo using a promoter test vector system with the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene. Measurements were made at different growth rates and after starvation for isoleucine to induce the stringent response. Neither the upstream nor the downstream sequence of P1 relative to the GCGC discriminator motif conferred comparable regulatory features when fused to the complementing sequences of the non-regulated mutant tac promoter. A minor response to amino acid deprivation or changes in the growth rate was noted for the hybrid promoter with the rrnB P1 upstream segment and the tac downstream element, pointing to a slightly different importance of the two sequence elements for regulation. The parallel effects for stringent as well as growth rate regulation of the hybrid promoters supports the view of a common mechanism for both types of control. However, none of the promoter sequence elements on its own was able to restore the complete regulatory behaviour of their 'parent' promoters. 相似文献
