(5Z)-4-Bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-3-butyl-2(5H)-furanone (furanone) from the red marine alga Delisea pulchra was found previously to inhibit the growth, swarming, and biofilm formation of gram-positive bacteria. Using the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis as a test organism, we observed cell killing by 20 microg of furanone per ml, while 5 microg of furanone per ml inhibited growth approximately twofold without killing the cells. To discover the mechanism of this inhibition on a genetic level and to investigate furanone as a novel antibiotic, full-genome DNA microarrays were used to analyze the gene expression profiles of B. subtilis grown with and without 5 microg of furanone per ml. This agent induced 92 genes more than fivefold (P < 0.05) and repressed 15 genes more than fivefold (P < 0.05). The induced genes include genes involved in stress responses (such as the class III heat shock genes clpC, clpE, and ctsR and the class I heat shock genes groES, but no class II or IV heat shock genes), fatty acid biosynthesis, lichenan degradation, transport, and metabolism, as well as 59 genes with unknown functions. The microarray results for four genes were confirmed by RNA dot blotting. Mutation of a stress response gene, clpC, caused B. subtilis to be much more sensitive to 5 microg of furanone per ml (there was no growth in 8 h, while the wild-type strain grew to the stationary phase in 8 h) and confirmed the importance of the induction of this gene as identified by the microarray analysis. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli, the ability to elicit a heat shock response depends on the htpR gene product. Previous work has shown that the HtpR protein serves as a sigma factor (sigma 32) for RNA polymerase that specifically recognizes heat shock promoters (A.D. Grossman, J.W. Erickson, and C.A. Gross Cell 38:383-390, 1984). In the present study we showed that sigma 32 synthesized in vitro could stimulate the expression of heat shock genes. The in vitro-synthesized sigma 32 was found to be associated with RNA polymerase. In vivo-synthesized sigma 32 was also associated with RNA polymerase, and this polymerase (E sigma 32) could be isolated free of the standard polymerase (E sigma 70). E sigma 32 was more active than E sigma 70 with heat shock genes; however, non-heat-shock genes were not transcribed by E sigma 32. The in vitro expression of the htpR gene required E sigma 70 but did not require E sigma 32. 相似文献
