DNA-binding properties of the Bacillus subtilis and Aeribacillus pallidus AC6 ?(D) proteins.

ABSTRACT: ?(D) proteins from Aeribacillus pallidus AC6 and Bacillus subtilis bound specifically, albeit weakly, to promoter DNA even in the absence of core RNA polymerase. Binding required a conserved CG motif within the -10 element, and this motif is known to be recognized by ? region 2.4 and critical for promoter activity.

Phosphorylation of Bacillus subtilis gene regulator AbrB modulates its DNA-binding properties

Project description:AbrB is a global gene regulator involved in transition phase phenomena in Bacillus subtilis. It participates in a complex regulatory network governing the expression of stationary phase functions. AbrB was previously found to be phosphorylated on serine 86 located close to its C-terminal oligomerization domain. Here we report that AbrB can be phosphorylated by three B. subtilis serine/threonine kinases expressed during the transition and stationary phase: PrkC, PrkD and YabT. Our in vitro findings suggest that AbrB phosphorylation impedes its DNA binding and abolishes binding cooperativity. In vivo we established that a phospho-mimetic mutation abrB S86D leads to a significant loss of AbrB control over several key target functions: exoprotease production, competence development and sporulation. A wider transcriptome analysis of abrB S86D and S86A mutant strains revealed deregulation of a large number of target genes. We therefore propose that AbrB phosphorylation serves as an additional input for fine-tuning the activity of this ambiactive gene regulator.

Characterization of LrpC DNA-binding properties and regulation of Bacillus subtilis lrpC gene expression.

Project description:The lrpC gene was identified during the Bacillus subtilis genome sequencing project. Previous experiments suggested that LrpC has a role in sporulation and in the regulation of amino acid metabolism and that it shares features with Escherichia coli Lrp, a transcription regulator (C. Beloin, S. Ayora, R. Exley, L. Hirschbein, N. Ogasawara, Y. Kasahara, J. C. Alonso, and F. Le Hégarat, Mol. Gen. Genet. 256:63-71, 1997). To characterize the interactions of LrpC with DNA, the protein was overproduced and purified. We show that LrpC binds to multiple sites in the upstream region of its own gene with a stronger affinity for a region encompassing P1, one of the putative promoters identified (P1 and P2). By analyzing lrpC-lacZ transcriptional fusions, we demonstrated that P1 is the major in vivo promoter and that, unlike many members of the lrp/asnC family, lrpC is not negatively autoregulated but rather slightly positively autoregulated. Production of LrpC in vivo is low in both rich and minimal media (50 to 300 LrpC molecules per cell). In rich medium, the cellular LrpC content is six- to sevenfold lower during the exponentional phase than during the stationary growth phase. Possible determinants and the biological significance of the regulation of lrpC expression are discussed.

Complete Genome Sequence of Thermophilic Bacterium Aeribacillus pallidus PI8.

Project description:Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Aeribacillus pallidus PI8, a thermophilic bacterium, isolated from soybean stem extract. The sequence was determined using Illumina and Nanopore sequencers. Bioinformatic analyses of the genome sequence revealed the presence of possible bacteriocin gene clusters.

Roles of low-molecular-weight penicillin-binding proteins in Bacillus subtilis spore peptidoglycan synthesis and spore properties.

Project description:The peptidoglycan cortex of endospores of Bacillus species is required for maintenance of spore dehydration and dormancy, and the structure of the cortex may also allow it to function in attainment of spore core dehydration. A significant difference between spore and growing cell peptidoglycan structure is the low degree of peptide cross-linking in cortical peptidoglycan; regulation of the degree of this cross-linking is exerted by D,D-carboxypeptidases. We report here the construction of mutant B. subtilis strains lacking all combinations of two and three of the four apparent D, D-carboxypeptidases encoded within the genome and the analysis of spore phenotypic properties and peptidoglycan structure for these strains. The data indicate that while the dacA and dacC products have no significant role in spore peptidoglycan formation, the dacB and dacF products both function in regulating the degree of cross-linking of spore peptidoglycan. The spore peptidoglycan of a dacB dacF double mutant was very highly cross-linked, and this structural modification resulted in a failure to achieve normal spore core dehydration and a decrease in spore heat resistance. A model for the specific roles of DacB and DacF in spore peptidoglycan synthesis is proposed.

Genetic recombination in Bacillus subtilis: a division of labor between two single-strand DNA-binding proteins.

Project description:We have investigated the structural, biochemical and cellular roles of the two single-stranded (ss) DNA-binding proteins from Bacillus subtilis, SsbA and SsbB. During transformation, SsbB localizes at the DNA entry pole where it binds and protects internalized ssDNA. The 2.8-Å resolution structure of SsbB bound to ssDNA reveals a similar overall protein architecture and ssDNA-binding surface to that of Escherichia coli SSB. SsbA, which binds ssDNA with higher affinity than SsbB, co-assembles onto SsbB-coated ssDNA and the two proteins inhibit ssDNA binding by the recombinase RecA. During chromosomal transformation, the RecA mediators RecO and DprA provide RecA access to ssDNA. Interestingly, RecO interaction with ssDNA-bound SsbA helps to dislodge both SsbA and SsbB from the DNA more efficiently than if the DNA is coated only with SsbA. Once RecA is nucleated onto the ssDNA, RecA filament elongation displaces SsbA and SsbB and enables RecA-mediated DNA strand exchange. During plasmid transformation, RecO localizes to the entry pole and catalyzes annealing of SsbA- or SsbA/SsbB-coated complementary ssDNAs to form duplex DNA with ssDNA tails. Our results provide a mechanistic framework for rationalizing the coordinated events modulated by SsbA, SsbB and RecO that are crucial for RecA-dependent chromosomal transformation and RecA-independent plasmid transformation.
