The binding site of the IclR repressor protein overlaps the promoter of aceBAK.

چکیده
In Escherichia coli, repression of the aceBAK operon is mediated by the IclR protein. We used an in vitro oligonucleotide selection technique to determine the consensus recognition sequence for MR. Mutational analysis confirmed the contribution of this sequence to repression in vivo and identified the -35 element of the promoter.

Regulated expression of a repressor protein: FadR activates iclR.
The control of the glyoxylate bypass operon (aceBAK) of Escherichia coli is mediated by two regulatory proteins, IclMR and FadR. IclMR is a repressor protein which has previously been shown to bind to a site which overlaps the aceBAK promoter. FAR is a repressor/activator protein which participates in control of the genes of fatty acid metabolism. A sequence just upstream of the iclR promoter b...
متن کاملAutoregulation of iclR, the gene encoding the repressor of the glyoxylate bypass operon.
The aceBAK operon was partially induced by a multicopy plasmid which carried the promoter region of the gene which encodes its repressor, iclR. Gel shift and DNase I analyses demonstrated that IclR binds to its own promoter. Disruption of iclR increased the expression of an iclR::lacZ operon fusion. Although aceBAK and iclR are both regulated by IclR, aceBAK expression responds to the carbon so...
متن کاملDerepression of Mineral Phosphate Solubilization Phenotype by Insertional Inactivation of iclR in Klebsiella pneumoniae
The mode of succinate mediated repression of mineral phosphate solubilization and the role of repressor in suppressing phosphate solubilization phenotype of two free-living nitrogen fixing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains was studied. Organic acid mediated mineral phosphate solubilization phenotype of oxalic acid producing Klebsiella pneumoniae SM6 and SM11 were transcriptionally repressed by IclR...
متن کاملRegulation of penicillin G acylase gene expression in Escherichia coli by repressor PaaX and the cAMP-cAMP receptor protein complex.
The pga gene of Escherichia coli W ATCC11105 encodes a penicillin G acylase whose expression is regulated at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. In this work we have shown that PaaX is the repressor of pga expression, and we have identified its binding consensus as TGATTC(N27)GAATCA. We conclude that the process of "PAA induction" actually involves relief of pga from repres...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of catalase gene, creates new potential PAX-6 and STAT4 response elements
Catalase (CAT, OMIM: 115500) is an endogenous antioxidant enzyme and genetic variations in the regulatory regions of the CAT gene may alter the CAT enzyme activity and subsequently may alter the risk of oxidative stress related disease. In this study, potential influence(s) of the A-21T (rs7943316) and C-262T (rs1001179) genetic polymorphisms in the CAT promoter region, using the ALGGEN-PROMO.v...
