Identification of a transcriptional repressor involved in benzoate metabolism in Geobacter bemidjiensis.
Applied and environmental microbiology 20110805 19
Subsurface environments contaminated with aromatic compounds can be remediated in situ by Geobacter species. A transcription factor that represses expression of bamA, a benzoate-inducible gene, in Geobacter bemidjiensis during growth with acetate was identified. It is likely that this repressor also regulates other genes involved in aromatic compound metabolism. ...[more]

Project description:TtgV is a member of the IclR family of transcriptional regulators. This regulator controls its own expression and that of the ttgGHI operon, which encodes an RND efflux pump. TtgV has two domains: a GAF-like domain harboring the effector-binding pocket and a helix-turn-helix (HTH) DNA-binding domain, which are linked by a long extended helix. When TtgV is bound to DNA, a kink at residue 86 in the extended helix gives rise to 2 helices. TtgV contacts DNA mainly through a canonical recognition helix, but its three-dimensional structure bound to DNA revealed that two residues, R19 and S35, outside the HTH motif, directly contact DNA. Effector binding to TtgV releases it from DNA; when this occurs, the kink at Q86 is lost and residues R19 and S35 are displaced due to the reorganization of the turn involving residues G44 and P46. Mutants of TtgV were generated at positions 19, 35, 44, 46, and 86 by site-directed mutagenesis to further analyze their role. Mutant proteins were purified to homogeneity, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies revealed that all mutants, except the Q86N mutant, unfold in a single event, suggesting conservation of the three-dimensional organization. All mutant variants bound effectors with an affinity similar to that of the parental protein. R19A, S35A, G44A, Q86N, and Q86E mutants did not bind DNA. The Q86A mutant was able to bind to DNA but was only partially released from its target operator in response to effectors. These results are discussed in the context of intramolecular signal transmission from the effector binding pocket to the DNA binding domain.

Project description:Geobacter metallireducens is a Fe(III)-respiring deltaproteobacterium and serves as a model organism for aromatic compound-degrading, obligately anaerobic bacteria. In this study, a genetic system was established for G. metallireducens using nitrate as an alternative electron acceptor. Surprisingly, disruption of the benzoate-induced bamY gene, encoding a benzoate coenzyme A (CoA) ligase, reproducibly showed an increased biomass yield in comparison to the wild type during growth with benzoate but not during growth with acetate. Complementation of bamY in trans converted the biomass yield back to the wild-type level. Growth of the bamY mutant with benzoate can be rationalized by the identification of a previously unknown succinyl-CoA:benzoate CoA transferase activity; it represents an additional, energetically less demanding mode of benzoate activation. The activity was highly enriched from extracts of cells grown on benzoate, yielding a 50-kDa protein band; mass spectrometric analysis identified the corresponding benzoate-induced gene annotated as a CoA transferase. It was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and characterized as a specific succinyl-CoA:benzoate CoA transferase. The newly identified enzyme in conjunction with a benzoate-induced succinyl-CoA synthetase links the tricarboxylic acid cycle to the upper benzoyl-CoA degradation pathway during growth on aromatic growth substrates.

Project description:Specific bile acids are potent signaling molecules that modulate metabolic pathways affecting lipid, glucose and bile acid homeostasis, and the microbiota. Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver, and the key enzymes involved in bile acid synthesis (Cyp7a1, Cyp8b1) are regulated transcriptionally by the nuclear receptor FXR. We have identified an FXR-regulated pathway upstream of a transcriptional repressor that controls multiple bile acid metabolism genes. We identify MafG as an FXR target gene and show that hepatic MAFG overexpression represses genes of the bile acid synthetic pathway and modifies the biliary bile acid composition. In contrast, loss-of-function studies using MafG(+/-) mice causes de-repression of the same genes with concordant changes in biliary bile acid levels. Finally, we identify functional MafG response elements in bile acid metabolism genes using ChIP-seq analysis. Our studies identify a molecular mechanism for the complex feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis controlled by FXR.

Project description:Although the biochemical pathways for the anaerobic degradation of many of the hydrocarbon constituents in petroleum reservoirs have been elucidated, the mechanisms for anaerobic activation of benzene, a very stable molecule, are not known. Previous studies have demonstrated that Geobacter metallireducens can anaerobically oxidize benzene to carbon dioxide with Fe(III) as the sole electron acceptor and that phenol is an intermediate in benzene oxidation. In an attempt to identify enzymes that might be involved in the conversion of benzene to phenol, whole-genome gene transcript abundance was compared in cells metabolizing benzene and cells metabolizing phenol. Eleven genes had significantly higher transcript abundance in benzene-metabolizing cells. Five of these genes had annotations suggesting that they did not encode proteins that could be involved in benzene metabolism and were not further studied. Strains were constructed in which one of the remaining six genes was deleted. The strain in which the monocistronic gene Gmet 0232 was deleted metabolized phenol, but not benzene. Transcript abundance of the adjacent monocistronic gene, Gmet 0231, predicted to encode a zinc-containing oxidoreductase, was elevated in cells metabolizing benzene, although not at a statistically significant level. However, deleting Gmet 0231 also yielded a strain that could metabolize phenol, but not benzene. Although homologs of Gmet 0231 and Gmet 0232 are found in microorganisms not known to anaerobically metabolize benzene, the adjacent localization of these genes is unique to G. metallireducens. The discovery of genes that are specifically required for the metabolism of benzene, but not phenol in G. metallireducens is an important step in potentially identifying the mechanisms for anaerobic benzene activation.

Project description:Mutations in the maternal effect gene NLRP7 cause biparental hydatidiform mole (HYDM1). HYDM1 is characterized by abnormal growth of placenta and lack of proper embryonic development. The molar tissues are characterized by abnormal methylation patterns at differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of imprinted genes. It is not known whether this occurs before or after fertilization, but the high specificity of this defect to the maternal allele indicates a possible maternal germ line-specific effect. To better understand the unknown molecular mechanism leading to HYDM1, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen against an ovarian library using NLRP7 as bait. We identified the transcriptional repressor ZBTB16 as an interacting protein of NLRP7 and verified this interaction in mammalian cells by immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy. Native protein analysis detected NLRP7 and ZBTB16 in a 480kD protein complex and both proteins co-localize in the cytoplasm in juxtanuclear aggregates. HYDM1-causing mutations in NLRP7 did not show altered patterns of interaction with ZBTB16. Hence, the biological significance of the NLRP7-ZBTB16 interaction remains to be revealed. However, a clear effect of harvesting ZBTB16 to the cytoplasm when the NLRP7 protein is overexpressed may be linked to the pathology of the molar pregnancy disease.

Project description:During differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes, the transcription of adipocyte genes, including the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 2 (SCD2) gene, is activated. Transfection experiments with chimeric SCD2 promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene constructs revealed a preadipocyte repressor element (PRE) capable of repressing transcription of the reporter gene in preadipocytes but not in adipocytes. DNase I protection and gel retardation analyses were used to localize the PRE site between nucleotides -435 and -410 of the SCD2 promoter and to identify a nuclear PRE binding protein present at high levels in preadipocytes and HeLa cells but lacking or inactive in adipocytes. Southwestern blot analysis indicated that the PRE binding protein has an apparent molecular mass of approximately 58 kDa. A single copy of the PRE site, inserted upstream of the simian virus 40 enhancer/promoter of pSV2CAT, was capable of strongly repressing transcription of the reporter gene in preadipocytes and HeLa cells but not in adipocytes. Taken together these results suggest that the PRE site and binding protein may regulate transcription of SCD2 and possibly other adipocyte genes by inhibiting their transcription in preadipocytes.

Project description:Mpv17-like protein (M-LP) is a protein that has been suggested to be involved in the metabolism of reactive oxygen species. The two M-LP isoforms in mouse, M-LP(S) and M-LP(L), are generated by the alternative usage of promoters. M-LP(S) is expressed exclusively in kidneys after the age of 6 weeks, whereas M-LP(L) is expressed ubiquitously. To elucidate the molecular basis of M-LP(S) expression, we searched for cis-regulatory elements in the promoter region of M-LP(S) and identified heat shock element half-sites as positive elements and a Tramtrack 69K (Ttk 69K) binding site as a negative element. Furthermore, we isolated a novel transcription repressor, Rhit (regulator of heat-induced transcription), that binds to the Ttk 69K binding site within the M-LP(S) promoter by DNA affinity chromatography and confirmed its participation in the transcriptional regulation of M-LP(S) by RNA interference (RNAi). Sequence analysis revealed that Rhit contains a KRAB (Krüppel-associated box) domain and a DNA-binding domain composed of eight C(2)H(2)-type zinc fingers. Interestingly, exposure to heat shock stress resulted in the upregulation of M-LP(S) expression concurrent with the downregulation of Rhit expression. Moreover, the age-dependent expression of M-LP(S) was inversely correlated with that of Rhit. These observations strongly suggest that Rhit acts as a repressor in the heat-induced and age-dependent transcriptional regulation of M-LP(S).

Project description:Ethylene plays an essential role in many biological processes including fruit ripening via modulation of ethylene signaling pathway. Ethylene Response Factors (ERFs) are key transcription factors (TFs) involved in ethylene perception and are divided into AP2, RAV, ERF, and DREB sub-families. Although a number of studies have implicated the involvement of DREB sub-family genes in stress responses, little is known about their roles in fruit ripening. In this study, we identified a DREB TF with a EAR motif, designated as MaDEAR1, which is a nucleus-localized transcriptional repressor. Expression analysis indicated that MaDEAR1 expression was repressed by ethylene, with reduced levels of histone H3 and H4 acetylation at its regulatory regions during fruit ripening. In addition, MaDEAR1 promoter activity was also suppressed in response to ethylene treatment. More importantly, MaDEAR1 directly binds to the DRE/CRT motifs in promoters of several cell wall-modifying genes including MaEXP1/3, MaPG1, MaXTH10, MaPL3, and MaPME3 associated with fruit softening during ripening and represses their activities. These data suggest that MaDEAR1 acts as a transcriptional repressor of cell wall-modifying genes, and may be negatively involved in ethylene-mediated ripening of banana fruit. Our findings provide new insights into the involvement of DREB TFs in the regulation of fruit ripening.

Project description:In Corynebacterium glutamicum, the acetate-activating enzymes phosphotransacetylase and acetate kinase and the glyoxylate cycle enzymes isocitrate lyase and malate synthase are coordinately up-regulated in the presence of acetate in the growth medium. This regulation is due to transcriptional control of the respective pta-ack operon and the aceA and aceB genes, brought about at least partly by the action of the negative transcriptional regulator RamB. Using cell extracts of C. glutamicum and employing DNA affinity chromatography, mass spectrometry, and peptide mass fingerprinting, we identified a LuxR-type transcriptional regulator, designated RamA, which binds to the pta-ack and aceA/aceB promoter regions. Inactivation of the ramA gene in the genome of C. glutamicum resulted in mutant RG2. This mutant was unable to grow on acetate as the sole carbon and energy source and, in comparison to the wild type of C. glutamicum, showed very low specific activities of phosphotransacetylase, acetate kinase, isocitrate lyase, and malate synthase, irrespective of the presence of acetate in the medium. Comparative transcriptional cat fusion experiments revealed that this deregulation takes place at the level of transcription. By electrophoretic mobility shift analysis, purified His-tagged RamA protein was shown to bind specifically to the pta-ack and the aceA/aceB promoter regions, and deletion and mutation studies revealed in both regions two binding motifs each consisting of tandem A/C/TG4-6T/C or AC4-5A/G/T stretches separated by four or five arbitrary nucleotides. Our data indicate that RamA represents a novel LuxR-type transcriptional activator of genes involved in acetate metabolism of C. glutamicum.

Project description:Redox-sensing repressor Rex was previously implicated in the control of anaerobic respiration in response to the cellular NADH/NAD(+) levels in gram-positive bacteria. We utilized the comparative genomics approach to infer candidate Rex-binding DNA motifs and assess the Rex regulon content in 119 genomes from 11 taxonomic groups. Both DNA-binding and NAD-sensing domains are broadly conserved in Rex orthologs identified in the phyla Firmicutes, Thermotogales, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Deinococcus-Thermus, and Proteobacteria. The identified DNA-binding motifs showed significant conservation in these species, with the only exception detected in Clostridia, where the Rex motif deviates in two positions from the generalized consensus, TTGTGAANNNNTTCACAA. Comparative analysis of candidate Rex sites revealed remarkable variations in functional repertoires of candidate Rex-regulated genes in various microorganisms. Most of the reconstructed regulatory interactions are lineage specific, suggesting frequent events of gain and loss of regulator binding sites in the evolution of Rex regulons. We identified more than 50 novel Rex-regulated operons encoding functions that are essential for resumption of the NADH:NAD(+) balance. The novel functional role of Rex in the control of the central carbon metabolism and hydrogen production genes was validated by in vitro DNA binding assays using the TM0169 protein in the hydrogen-producing bacterium Thermotoga maritima.
