Widespread suppression of intragenic transcription initiation by H-NS.
Widespread intragenic transcription initiation has been observed in many species. Here we show that the Escherichia coli ehxCABD operon contains numerous intragenic promoters in both sense and antisense orientations. Transcription from these promoters is silenced by the histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) protein. On a genome-wide scale, we show that 46% of H-NS-suppressed transcripts in E...
متن کاملH-NS binding and repression of the ctx promoter in Vibrio cholerae.
Expression of the ctx and tcp genes, which encode cholera toxin and the toxin coregulated pilus, the Vibrio cholerae O1 virulence determinants having the largest contribution to cholera disease, is repressed by the nucleoid-associated protein H-NS and activated by the AraC-like transcriptional regulator ToxT. To elucidate the molecular mechanism by which H-NS controls transcription of the ctxAB...
متن کاملAnti-silencing: overcoming H-NS-mediated repression of transcription in Gram-negative enteric bacteria.
The H-NS nucleoid-associated DNA-binding protein is an important global repressor of transcription in Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, H-NS has been implicated in the process of xenogeneic silencing, where it represses the transcription of foreign genes acquired by horizontal transfer. This raises interesting questions about the integration of the horizontally acquired genes into the existing ...

متن کاملBglJ-RcsB heterodimers relieve repression of the Escherichia coli bgl operon by H-NS.
RcsB is the response regulator of the complex Rcs two-component system, which senses perturbations in the outer membrane and peptidoglycan layer. BglJ is a transcriptional regulator whose constitutive expression causes activation of the H-NS- and StpA-repressed bgl (aryl-β,D-glucoside) operon in Escherichia coli. RcsB and BglJ both belong to the LuxR-type family of transcriptional regulators wi...
