CcpA mediates the catabolite repression of tst in Staphylococcus aureus.
Some clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus produce the superantigenic toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), encoded by tst, located on pathogenicity islands. The expression of tst is complex and is influenced by environmental conditions such as pH, CO(2), and glucose. We identified a putative catabolite-responsive element (cre) in the promoter regions of all known tst genes, indicating th...
متن کاملElements involved in catabolite repression and substrate induction of the lactose operon in Lactobacillus casei.
In Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393, the chromosomally encoded lactose operon, lacTEGF, encodes an antiterminator protein (LacT), lactose-specific phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) elements (LacE and LacF), and a phospho-beta-galactosidase. lacT, lacE, and lacF mutant strains were constructed by double crossover. The lacT strain displayed constitutive termination at a ri...
متن کاملEffect of catabolite repression on the mer operon.
The plasmid-determined mer operon, which provides resistance to inorganic mercury compounds, was subject to a 2.5-fold decrease in expression when glucose was administered at the same time as the inducer HgCl2. This glucose-mediated transient repression of the operon was overcome by the addition of cyclic AMP. Permanent catabolite repression of the operon was observed in the 1.6- to 1.9-fold de...
متن کاملCatabolite repression of the xyl operon in Bacillus megaterium.
We characterized catabolite repression of the genes encoding xylose utilization in Bacillus megaterium. A transcriptional fusion of xylA encoding xylose isomerase to the spoVG-lacZ indicator gene on a plasmid with a temperature-sensitive origin of replication was constructed and efficiently used for single-copy replacement cloning in the B. megaterium chromosome starting from a single transform...
متن کاملCatabolite repression of the lac operon. Separt epressionof two enzymes.
1. Catabolite repression of beta-galactosidase and of thiogalactoside transacetylase was studied in several strains of Escherichia coli K 12, in an attempt to show whether a single site within the structural genes of the lac operon co-ordinately controls translational repression for the two enzymes. In all experiments the rate of synthesis of the enzymes was compared in glycerol-minimal medium ...
