Characterization by deletion mutagenesis in vitro of the promoter region of ompF, a positively regulated gene of Escherichia coli 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
The ompF gene codes for a major outer membrane protein whose expression is positively regulated by the ompR and envZ genes. Two sets of promoter deletions, upstream deletions and downstream deletions, were generated in vitro, and the promoter function was studied by connecting them with the tet genes. One of the hybrid genes thus constructed had a functioning ompF-tet hybrid promoter. The 107 base-pair fragment was found to be functioning as the ompF promoter, 90 nucleotides upstream and 17 nucleotides downstream of the mRNA start site that was also determined in this study. The start site was preceded by a convenient Pribnow box. Although the sequence at the -35 region had a low degree of homology to the consensus sequence, analyses of the hybrid promoter suggested that this region is involved in the promoter function in relation to the Pribnow box. They also indicated that the domain responsible for regulation by the ompR gene is located within the -35 region and its upstream region. 相似文献

The 5'-flanking region of the rat glucagon gene contains, from nucleotides -291 to -298, a sequence (TGA CGTCA) which mediates cyclic AMP (cAMP) responsiveness in several genes (cAMP-responsive element [CRE]). However, because of nonpermissive bases surrounding the CRE octamer, the glucagon CRE does not confer cAMP responsiveness to an inert heterologous promoter in placental JEG cells that do not express the glucagon gene. This report describes transient transfection experiments with glucagon-reporter fusion genes that show that glucagon gene expression is activated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A in a glucagon-expressing pancreatic islet cell line. This activation is mediated through the glucagon CRE. 相似文献

Development of competence for DNA uptake by the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae is tightly regulated, and expression of the cell's complement of competence genes is absolutely dependent on the cAMP-CRP complex. A second regulator of competence may maximize competence under starvation conditions. Several investigators have recently identified a consensus sequence (competence regulatory element, CRE) in the promoter regions of some competence genes and have proposed that this may be a binding site for Sxy (TfoX), a putative positive regulator of competence. However, a scoring method that reliably ranks candidate binding sites according to affinity for the cognate binding protein predicts that the cAMP-CRP complex will bind CRE sequences with high affinity. Moreover, the predicted Sxy protein lacks recognizable DNA-binding motifs and has not been shown to bind DNA. No other consensus sequences (putative binding sites) were identified in the promoter regions of competence genes. These observations suggest that the proposed competence-specific regulatory elements are in fact CRP-binding sites, and highlight the central role of cAMP-an established bacterial mediator of the response to nutritional stress-in competence regulation. Minor sequence elements uniquely conserved in the set of CRE sequences are predicted to reduce CRP affinity, and a model is suggested in which a secondary regulator of competence genes may interact with CRP under certain conditions to stabilize the initiation complex. 相似文献
