Glucose-resistant sporulation in Bacillus subtilis crsA47 mutants does not depend on promoter switching at the spo0A gene.

چکیده
We have found that sporulation in Bacillus subtilis crsA47 mutants does not require the sigma(H)-dependent promoter of the spo0A gene. This implies that the glucose-resistant sporulation phenotype of this strain is not related to the switch from the vegetative-stage sigma(A)-dependent promoter to the sigma(H)-dependent promoter at the spo0A gene.

Control of sporulation gene expression in Bacillus subtilis by the chromosome partitioning proteins Soj (ParA) and Spo0J (ParB).
Two chromosome partitioning proteins, Soj (ParA) and Spo0J (ParB), regulate the initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. In a spo0J null mutant, sporulation is inhibited by the action of Soj. Soj negatively regulates expression of several sporulation genes by binding to the promoter regions and inhibiting transcription. All of the genes known to be inhibited by Soj are also activated by ...
متن کاملA derepression system based on the Bacillus subtilis sporulation pathway offers dynamic control of heterologous gene expression.
By rewiring the sporulation gene-regulatory network of Bacillus subtilis, we generated a novel expression system relying on derepression. The gene of interest is placed under the control of the abrB promoter, which is active only when Spo0A is absent, and Spo0A is controlled via an IPTG (isopropyl-beta-d-thiogalactopyranoside)-inducible promoter.
متن کاملIn vivo effects of sporulation kinases on mutant Spo0A proteins in Bacillus subtilis.
The phosphorylated form of the response regulator Spo0A (Spo0A~P) is required for the initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Phosphate is transferred to Spo0A from at least four histidine kinases (KinA, KinB, KinC, and KinD) by a phosphotransfer pathway composed of Spo0F and Spo0B. Several mutations in spo0A allow initiation of sporulation in the absence of spo0F and spo0B, but the mec...
متن کاملsigmaK can negatively regulate sigE expression by two different mechanisms during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis.
Temporal and spatial gene regulation during Bacillus subtilis sporulation involves the activation and inactivation of multiple sigma subunits of RNA polymerase in a cascade. In the mother cell compartment of sporulating cells, expression of the sigE gene, encoding the earlier-acting sigma factor, sigmaE, is negatively regulated by the later-acting sigma factor, sigmaK. Here, it is shown that th...
متن کاملThe Bacillus subtilis regulator SinR inhibits spoIIG promoter transcription in vitro without displacing RNA polymerase.
Initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis is controlled by several regulators which affect activation by phosphorylation of the key response regulator Spo0A or transcription of Spo0A-P-dependent genes. In vivo overexpression of one of these regulators, sinR , results in suppression of transcription from the Spo0A-P-dependent promoters of spo0A , spoIIA , spoIIE and spoIIG and in vitro SinR...
