大肠杆菌棉子糖操纵子a-半乳糖苷酶表达的调节控制

大肠杆菌棉子糖操纵子(raf)位于质粒,其第一结构基因rafA编码的a-半乳糖苷酶为诱导酶。Rat操纵子比乳糖操纵子(lac)或蜜二糖操纵子(mel)对诱导物有更严格的结构特异性。该酶被蜜二糖或棉子糖诱导,也被D-半乳糖微弱诱导,但不受乳糖、PNPG等结构相近糖所诱导。A-半乳糖苷酶的酶诱导形成能力在对数生长末期出现高峰。Rat 操纵子基因结构组成及调节与乳糖操纵子相似。以阻遏物为中介的负调控在raf操纵子调节中起主要作用,同时以环腺苷一代谢降解物基因激活蛋白(cAMP-CAP)为中介的正调控也参与调节。当0．4％葡萄糖加入到其它碳源培养基时,该酶表达水平下降至原活力的1／2—1／3。无论诱导或组成型酶的葡萄糖抑制均未见瞬时抑制。腺苷环化酶(cya)缺失或环腺苷受体蛋白(crP)和cya双缺陷菌株的酶表达则分别下降到原活力的9％和2．5％。Cya突变株或葡萄糖对raf操纵子表达的抑制可被cAMP解除,但cya和crP双缺陷菌株仍有葡萄糖抑制,而且这种抑制不为cAMP抵消,表明通过降低cAMp而影响cAMP-CAP复合体形成还不能解释代谢降解物抑制的全部机制。尚无证据说明吲哚类小分子化合物和低浓度尿素对raf操纵子表达的明显作用。

Visualization of the dynamics of gene expression in the living mouse

Reporter genes can monitor the status and activity of recombinant genomes in a diverse array of organisms, from bacteria and yeast to plants and animals. We have combined luciferase reporter genes with a conditional gene expression system based on regulatory elements from the lac operon of Escherichia coli to visualize the dynamics of gene expression in realtime in the living mouse. Using this technology, we have determined the rate of gene induction and repression, the level of target gene activity in response to different doses of inducer, and the schedule of induction during early embryogenesis of both the endogenous and the experimentally manipulated programs of mammalian gene expression associated with the HD/Hdh locus. The combination of in vivo imaging and lac regulation is a powerful tool for generating conditional transgenic mice that can be screened rapidly for optimal regulation and expression patterns, and for monitoring the induction and repression of regulated genes noninvasively in the living animal.     

Adaptive evolution of the lactose utilization network in experimentally evolved populations of Escherichia coli

Adaptation to novel environments is often associated with changes in gene regulation. Nevertheless, few studies have been able both to identify the genetic basis of changes in regulation and to demonstrate why these changes are beneficial. To this end, we have focused on understanding both how and why the lactose utilization network has evolved in replicate populations of Escherichia coli. We found that lac operon regulation became strikingly variable, including changes in the mode of environmental response (bimodal, graded, and constitutive), sensitivity to inducer concentration, and maximum expression level. In addition, some classes of regulatory change were enriched in specific selective environments. Sequencing of evolved clones, combined with reconstruction of individual mutations in the ancestral background, identified mutations within the lac operon that recapitulate many of the evolved regulatory changes. These mutations conferred fitness benefits in environments containing lactose, indicating that the regulatory changes are adaptive. The same mutations conferred different fitness effects when present in an evolved clone, indicating that interactions between the lac operon and other evolved mutations also contribute to fitness. Similarly, changes in lac regulation not explained by lac operon mutations also point to important interactions with other evolved mutations. Together these results underline how dynamic regulatory interactions can be, in this case evolving through mutations both within and external to the canonical lactose utilization network.     

The art and design of genetic screens: Escherichia coli

This article summarizes the general principles of selections and screens in Escherichia coli. The focus is on the lac operon, owing to its inherent simplicity and versatility. Examples of different strategies for mutagenesis and mutant discovery are described. In particular, the usefulness and effectiveness of simple colour-based screens are illustrated. The power of lac genetics can be applied to almost any bacterial system with gene fusions that hook any gene of interest to lacZ, which is the structural gene that encodes beta-galactosidase. The diversity of biological processes that can be studied with lac genetics is remarkable and includes DNA metabolism, gene regulation and signal transduction, protein localization and folding, and even electron transport.     

大肠杆菌棉子糖操纵子α—半乳糖苷酶表达的调节控制

The alpha-galactosidase, coded for by the first structural gene rafA in the plasmid determined raf operon was an inducible enzyme. In contrast to lac or mel operon, raf operon has more strict structural specificity for inducers. The enzyme can be induced by melibiose and raffinose, or weakly by D-galactose, but not by structurally related sugars such as lactose, PNPG etc.. The alpha-galactosidase forming capacity as function of growth curve reached a single peak at the end of the logarithmic phase of the growth. The structure and regulation of raf operon is similar to those of lac operon. The repressormor-mediated negative control plays a major role in the regulation of raf operon, and cAMP-CAP mediated positive control is also involved in the regulation. When 0.4% glucose was added into the medium with other carbon sources, the expression of the enzyme was repressed by 2-3 fold. Transient catabolite repression has been observed neither in inducible nor constitutive alpha-galactosidase expression. Based on alpha-galactosidase assay, in mutant strains CA8306(cya) and CA8445 (cya, crp) the expression level of raf operon was only 9% and 2.5% of that in wild type strain respectively. The glucose effect or the repression in cya mutant can be abolished by 1-5 mmol cAMP. The constitutive alpha-galactosidase expression in cya and cry double mutant (CA8445) remains repressible by glucose, but irreversible by cAMP, suggesting cAMP-CAP complex is not the exclusive mediator of the catablite repression.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
