Role 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...
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 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 کاملBacillus subtilis Glutamine Synthetase Controls Gene Expression through a Protein-Protein Interaction with Transcription Factor TnrA
Bacillus subtilis TnrA, a global regulator of transcription, responds to nitrogen availability, but the specific signal to which it responds has been elusive. Genetic studies indicate that glutamine synthetase is required for the regulation of TnrA activity in vivo. We report here that the feedback-inhibited form of glutamine synthetase directly interacts with TnrA and blocks the DNA binding ac...
متن کاملModulation 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...
