A sporulation-specific sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis (sigma E) is formed by a proteolytic activation of a precursor protein (P31). Synthesis of the precursor protein is shown to be abolished in B. subtilis mutants with plasmid insertions as far as 940 base pairs upstream of the P31 structural gene (sigE), and processing of P31 to sigma E is blocked by a deletion in this upstream region. These results substantiate the view that sigE is the distal member of a 2-gene operon and demonstrate that the upstream gene (spoIIGA) is necessary for sigma E formation. 相似文献

The gene coding for Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase major sigma 43, rpoD, was cloned together with its neighboring genes in a 7 kb EcoRI fragment. The complete nucleotide sequence of a 5 kb fragment including the entire rpoD gene revealed the presence of two other genes preceding rpoD in the order P23-dnaE-rpoD. The dnaE codes for DNA primase while the function of P23 remains unknown. The three genes reside in an operon that is similar in organization to the E. coli RNA polymerase major sigma 70 operon, which is composed of genes encoding small ribosome protein S21 (rpsU), DNA primase (dnaG), and RNA polymerase sigma 70 (rpoD). There is a relatively high degree of base and amino acid homology between the DNA primase and sigma genes. The most significant differences between the two operons are observed in the molecular size of the first genes (P23 and rpsU), the complete lack of amino acid homology between P23 and S21, the molecular weights of the two rpoD genes, the size of the intercistronic region between the first two genes, and the regulatory elements of the operon. 相似文献

The sigB operon of Bacillus subtilis encodes sigma B plus three additional proteins (RsbV, RsbW, and RsbX) that regulate sigma B activity. Using an anti-sigma B monoclonal antibody to monitor the levels of sigma B protein, PSPAC to control the expression of the sigB operon, and a ctc-lacZ reporter system to monitor sigma B activity, we observed that the rsbV and rsbW products control sigma B activity at the ctc promoter independently of their effects on sigma B levels. In contrast, RsbX was found to have no effect on expression of ctc when the sigB operon was controlled by PSPAC. The data are consistent with RsbV and RsbW being regulators of sigma B activity and RsbX acting primarily as a negative regulator of sigB operon expression. Evidence that stationary-phase induction of the sigma B-dependent ctc promoter is accomplished by a reduction in RsbW-dependent inhibition of sigma B activity is also presented. In addition, Western blot (immunoblot) analyses of sigB operon expression demonstrated that sigma B accumulation is coupled to the synthesis of its primary inhibitor (RsbW). This finding is consistent with RsbW and sigma B being present within the cell in equivalent amounts, a circumstance that would permit RsbW to directly influence sigma B activity by a direct protein-protein interaction. 相似文献
