Modulation of activity of Bacillus subtilis regulatory proteins GltC and TnrA by glutamate dehydrogenase.
The Bacillus subtilis gltAB operon, encoding glutamate synthase, requires a specific positive regulator, GltC, for its expression and is repressed by the global regulatory protein TnrA. The factor that controls TnrA activity, a complex of glutamine synthetase and a feedback inhibitor, such as glutamine, is known, but the signal for modulation of GltC activity has remained elusive. GltC-dependen...
متن کاملRegulation of glutamate dehydrogenase in Bacillus subtilis.
The activity of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase in Bacillus subtilis was influenced by the carbon source, but not the nitrogen source, in the growth medium. The highest specific activity for this enzyme was found when B. subtilis was grown in a minimal or rich medium that contained glutamate as the carbon source. It is proposed that glutamate dehydrogenas...
متن کاملSites required for GltC-dependent regulation of Bacillus subtilis glutamate synthase expression.
The Bacillus subtilis gltAB genes, coding for the two subunits of glutamate synthase, are transcribed divergently from the gltC gene, encoding a LysR-type transcriptional activator of gltAB. The predicted gltA and gltC transcription start sites are separated by 51 to 52 bp. A 15-bp, consensus binding site (Box I) for LysR-type proteins was found centered at position -64 with respect to the gltA...
متن کاملCcpA-dependent regulation of Bacillus subtilis glutamate dehydrogenase gene expression.
The Bacillus subtilis rocG gene, encoding catabolic glutamate dehydrogenase, was found to be subject to direct CcpA-dependent glucose repression. The effect of CcpA required the presence of both the HPr and Crh proteins. The primary CcpA binding site was identified by mutational analysis and DNase I footprinting. In the absence of inducers of the Roc pathway, rocG was still expressed at a low l...
متن کاملRole of TnrA in nitrogen source-dependent repression of Bacillus subtilis glutamate synthase gene expression.
Synthesis of glutamate, the cell's major donor of nitrogen groups and principal anion, occupies a significant fraction of bacterial metabolism. In Bacillus subtilis, the gltAB operon, encoding glutamate synthase, requires a specific positive regulator, GltC, for its expression. In addition, the gltAB operon was shown to be repressed by TnrA, a regulator of several other genes of nitrogen metabo...
