The Lrp/AsnC-type regulator PA2577 controls the Eam-like transporter gene PA2576 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ChIP-seq)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a facultative human pathogen especially dangerous for immunocompromised patients. It is known from its high adaptability and complex regulatory systems involving huge repertoire of transcriptional regulators (TRs). The Lrp/AsnC family consists of proteins engaged mostly in regulation of processes such as amino acid metabolism but the function of most of them remains unknown. The aim of this study was characterization of the Lrp/AsnC-type regulator PA2577 of P. aeruginosa. Transcriptional profiling of P. aeruginosa PAO1161 overexpressing PA2577 revealed changes in mRNA level of 171 genes. Among downregulated loci PA2576 gene, encoding an EamA-like membrane transporter transcribed divergently to PA2577, was identified. ChIP-seq analysis together with EMSA analysis revealed binding site of PA2577 in PA2577/PA2576 intergenic region, indicating direct regulation of PA2576 expression by PA2577. PA2576 was shown to interact with PA5006 and PA3694 proteins predicted to be involved in membrane processes, especially LPS biosynthesis. Defects of growth of PA2577 and PA2576 deficient cells in conditions of polymyxin B supplementation was shown. Overall, presented data uncovered the regulatory properties of PA2577 acting as the repressor of divergently transcribed PA2576 gene, being a part of LPS biogenesis process in P. aeruginosa.
