    Glycogen, the stored form of glucose, accumulates upon growth arrest in the presence of an excess carbon source in Escherichia coli and other bacteria. Chromatin immunoprecipitation screening for the binding site of a functionally unknown GntR family transcription factor, YegW, revealed that the yegTUV operon was a single target of the E. coli genome. Although none of the genes in the yegTUV operon have a clear function, a previous study suggested their involvement in the production of ADP-glucose (ADPG), a glycogen precursor. Various validation through in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that YegW is a single-target transcription factor that acts as a repressor of yegTUV, with an intracellular concentration of consistently approximately 10 molecules, and senses ADPG as an effector. Further analysis revealed that YegW repressed glycogen accumulation in response to increased glucose concentration, which was not accompanied by changes in the growth phase. In minimal glucose medium, yegW-deficient E. coli promoted glycogen accumulation, at the expense of poor cell proliferation. We concluded that YegW is a single-target transcription factor that senses ADPG and represses glycogen accumulation in response to the amount of glucose available to the cell. We propose renaming YegW to GgaR (repressor of glycogen accumulation).

    The genome of Escherichia coli K-12 is transcribed by a single species of RNA polymerase. The selectivity of transcriptional targets is determined via interaction with one of seven species of the sigma subunit and a total of approximately 300 species of transcription factor (TFs). For comprehensive identification of the regulatory targets of these two groups of regulatory proteins on the genome, we developed an in vitro approach, "Genomic SELEX" (gSELEX) screening. Here we describe a detailed protocol of the gSELEX screening system, which uses purified regulatory proteins and fragments of genomic DNA from E. coli. Moreover, we describe methods and examples of results using cell-free synthetic proteins.

    Bacteria exposed to stress survive by regulating the expression of several genes at the transcriptional and translational levels. For instance, in Escherichia coli, when growth is arrested in response to stress, such as nutrient starvation, the anti-sigma factor Rsd is expressed to inactivate the global regulator RpoD and activate the sigma factor RpoS. However, ribosome modulation factor (RMF) expressed in response to growth arrest binds to 70S ribosomes to form inactive 100S ribosomes and inhibit translational activity. Moreover, stress due to fluctuations in the concentration of metal ions essential for various intracellular pathways is regulated by a homeostatic mechanism involving metal-responsive transcription factors (TFs). Therefore, in this study, we examined the binding of a few metal-responsive TFs to the promoter regions of rsd and rmf through promoter-specific TF screening and studied the effects of these TFs on the expression of rsd and rmf in each TF gene-deficient E. coli strain through quantitative PCR, Western blot imaging, and 100S ribosome formation analysis. Our results suggest that several metal-responsive TFs (CueR, Fur, KdpE, MntR, NhaR, PhoP, ZntR, and ZraR) and metal ions (Cu2+, Fe2+, K+, Mn2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Zn2+) influence rsd and rmf gene expression while regulating transcriptional and translational activities.

    Flagella are vital bacterial organs that allow microorganisms to move to favorable environments. However, their construction and operation consume a large amount of energy. The master regulator FlhDC mediates all flagellum-forming genes in E. coli through a transcriptional regulatory cascade, the details of which remain elusive. In this study, we attempted to uncover a direct set of target genes in vitro using gSELEX-chip screening to re-examine the role of FlhDC in the entire E. coli genome regulatory network. We identified novel target genes involved in the sugar utilization phosphotransferase system, sugar catabolic pathway of glycolysis, and other carbon source metabolic pathways in addition to the known flagella formation target genes. Examining FlhDC transcriptional regulation in vitro and in vivo and its effects on sugar consumption and cell growth suggested that FlhDC activates these new targets. Based on these results, we proposed that the flagella master transcriptional regulator FlhDC acts in the activation of a set of flagella-forming genes, sugar utilization, and carbon source catabolic pathways to provide coordinated regulation between flagella formation, operation and energy production.

    Understanding the functional information of all genes and the biological mechanism based on the comprehensive genome regulation mechanism is an important task in life science. YgfI is an uncharacterized LysR family transcription factor in Escherichia coli. To identify the function of YgfI, the genomic SELEX (gSELEX) screening was performed for YgfI regulation targets on the E. coli genome. In addition, regulatory and phenotypic analyses were performed. A total of 10 loci on the E. coli genome were identified as the regulatory targets of YgfI with the YgfI binding activity. These predicted YgfI target genes were involved in biofilm formation, hydrogen peroxide resistance, and antibiotic resistance, many of which were expressed in the stationary phase. The TCAGATTTTGC sequence was identified as an YgfI box in in vitro gel shift assay and DNase-I footprinting assays. RT-qPCR analysis in vivo revealed that the expression of YgfI increased in the stationary phase. Physiological analyses suggested the participation of YgfI in biofilm formation and an increase in the tolerability against hydrogen peroxide. In summary, we propose to rename ygfI as srsR (a stress-response regulator in stationary phase).

    Genomic SELEX screening was performed to identify the binding sites of YiaU, an uncharacterized LysR family transcription factor, on the Escherichia coli K-12 genome. Five high-affinity binding targets of YiaU were identified, all of which were involved in the structures of the bacterial cell surface such as outer and inner membrane proteins, and lipopolysaccharides. Detailed in vitro and in vivo analyses suggest that YiaU activates these target genes. To gain insight into the effects of YiaU in vivo on physiological properties, we used phenotype microarrays, biofilm screening assays and the sensitivity against serum complement analysed using a yiaU deletion mutant or YiaU expression strain. Together, these results suggest that the YiaU regulon confers resistance to some antibiotics, and increases biofilm formation and complement sensitivity. We propose renaming YiaU as CsuR (regulator of cell surface).

    Acetate overflow refers to the metabolism by which a large part of carbon incorporated as glucose into Escherichia coli cells is catabolized and excreted as acetate into the medium. We previously found that mutants for the acetate overflow pathway enzymes phosphoacetyltransferase (Pta) and acetate kinase (AckA) showed significant diauxic growth after glucose depletion in E. coli. Here, we analyzed the underlying mechanism in the pta mutant. Proteomic and other analyses revealed an increase in pyruvate dehydrogenase complex subunits and a decrease in glyoxylate shunt enzymes, which resulted from pyruvate accumulation. Since restoration of these enzyme levels by overexpressing PdhR (pyruvate-sensing transcription factor) or deleting iclR (gene encoding a pyruvate- and glyoxylate-sensing transcription factor) alleviated the growth lag of the pta mutant after glucose depletion, these changes were considered as the reason for the phenotype. Given the evidence for decreased coenzyme A (HS-CoA) levels in the pta mutant, the growth inhibition after glucose depletion was partly explained by limited availability of HS-CoA in the cell. The findings provide insights into the role of acetate overflow in metabolic regulation, which may be useful for biotechnological applications.

    Transcriptional regulation for genome expression determines growth and adaptation of single-cell bacteria that are directly exposed to environment. The transcriptional apparatus in Escherichia coli K-12 is composed of RNA polymerase core enzyme and two groups of its regulatory proteins, seven species of promoter-recognition subunit sigma and about 300 species of transcription factors. The identification of regulatory targets for all these regulatory proteins is critical toward understanding the genome regulation as a whole. For this purpose, we performed a systematic search in vitro of the whole set of binding sites for each factor by gSELEX system. This review summarizes the accumulated knowledge of regulatory targets for more than 150 TFs from E. coli K-12. Overall TFs could be classified into four families: nucleoid-associated bifunctional TFs; global regulators; local regulators; and single-target regulators, in which the regulatory functions remain uncharacterized for the nucleoid-associated TFs. Here we overview the regulatory targets of two nucleoid-associated TFs, H-NS and its paralog StpA, both together playing the silencing role of a set of non-essential genes. Participation of LeuO and other global regulators have been indicated for the anti-silencing. Finally, we propose the hierarchy of TF network as a key framework of the bacterial genome regulation.

    The sulfosugar sulfoquinovose (SQ) is produced by essentially all photosynthetic organisms on Earth and is metabolized by bacteria through the process of sulfoglycolysis. The sulfoglycolytic Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway metabolizes SQ to produce dihydroxyacetone phosphate and sulfolactaldehyde and is analogous to the classical Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas glycolysis pathway for the metabolism of glucose-6-phosphate, though the former only provides one C3 fragment to central metabolism, with excretion of the other C3 fragment as dihydroxypropanesulfonate. Here, we report a comprehensive structural and biochemical analysis of the three core steps of sulfoglycolysis catalyzed by SQ isomerase, sulfofructose (SF) kinase, and sulfofructose-1-phosphate (SFP) aldolase. Our data show that despite the superficial similarity of this pathway to glycolysis, the sulfoglycolytic enzymes are specific for SQ metabolites and are not catalytically active on related metabolites from glycolytic pathways. This observation is rationalized by three-dimensional structures of each enzyme, which reveal the presence of conserved sulfonate binding pockets. We show that SQ isomerase acts preferentially on the β-anomer of SQ and reversibly produces both SF and sulforhamnose (SR), a previously unknown sugar that acts as a derepressor for the transcriptional repressor CsqR that regulates SQ-utilization. We also demonstrate that SF kinase is a key regulatory enzyme for the pathway that experiences complex modulation by the metabolites SQ, SLA, AMP, ADP, ATP, F6P, FBP, PEP, DHAP, and citrate, and we show that SFP aldolase reversibly synthesizes SFP. This body of work provides fresh insights into the mechanism, specificity, and regulation of sulfoglycolysis and has important implications for understanding how this biochemistry interfaces with central metabolism in prokaryotes to process this major repository of biogeochemical sulfur.

    The identification of regulatory targets of all transcription factors (TFs) is critical for understanding the entire network of genome regulation. A total of approximately 300 TFs exist in the model prokaryote Escherichia coli K-12, but the identification of whole sets of their direct targets is impossible with use of in vivo approaches. For this end, the most direct and quick approach is to identify the TF-binding sites in vitro on the genome. We then developed and utilized the gSELEX screening system in vitro for identification of more than 150 E. coli TF-binding sites along the E. coli genome. Based on the number of predicted regulatory targets, we classified E. coli K-12 TFs into four groups, altogether forming a hierarchy ranging from a single-target TF (ST-TF) to local TFs, global TFs, and nucleoid-associated TFs controlling as many as 1,000 targets. Using the collection of purified TFs and a library of genome DNA segments from a single and the same E. coli K-12, we identified here a total of 11 novel ST-TFs, CsqR, CusR, HprR, NorR, PepA, PutA, QseA, RspR, UvrY, ZraR, and YqhC. The regulation of single-target promoters was analyzed in details for the hitherto uncharacterized QseA and RspR. In most cases, the ST-TF gene and its regulatory target genes are adjacently located on the E. coli K-12 genome, implying their simultaneous transfer in the course of genome evolution. The newly identified 11 ST-TFs and the total of 13 hitherto identified altogether constitute the minority group of TFs in E. coli K-12.

    The transcription factor PdhR has been recognized as the master regulator of the pyruvate catabolism pathway in Escherichia coli, including both NAD-linked oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA by PDHc (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) and respiratory electron transport of NADH to oxygen by Ndh-CyoABCD enzymes. To identify the whole set of regulatory targets under the control of pyruvate-sensing PdhR, we performed genomic SELEX (gSELEX) screening in vitro. A total of 35 PdhR-binding sites were identified along the E. coli K-12 genome, including previously identified targets. Possible involvement of PdhR in regulation of the newly identified target genes was analysed in detail by gel shift assay, RT-qPCR and Northern blot analysis. The results indicated the participation of PdhR in positive regulation of fatty acid degradation genes and negative regulation of cell mobility genes. In fact, GC analysis indicated an increase in free fatty acids in the mutant lacking PdhR. We propose that PdhR is a bifunctional global regulator for control of a total of 16-23 targets, including not only the genes involved in central carbon metabolism but also some genes for the surrounding pyruvate-sensing cellular pathways such as fatty acid degradation and flagella formation. The activity of PdhR is controlled by pyruvate, the key node between a wide variety of metabolic pathways, including generation of metabolic energy and cell building blocks.

    Under stressful conditions, Escherichia coli forms biofilm for survival by sensing a variety of environmental conditions. CsgD, the master regulator of biofilm formation, controls cell aggregation by directly regulating the synthesis of Curli fimbriae. In agreement of its regulatory role, as many as 14 transcription factors (TFs) have so far been identified to participate in regulation of the csgD promoter, each monitoring a specific environmental condition or factor. In order to identify the whole set of TFs involved in this typical multi-factor promoter, we performed in this study 'promoter-specific transcription-factor' (PS-TF) screening in vitro using a set of 198 purified TFs (145 TFs with known functions and 53 hitherto uncharacterized TFs). A total of 48 TFs with strong binding to the csgD promoter probe were identified, including 35 known TFs and 13 uncharacterized TFs, referred to as Y-TFs. As an attempt to search for novel regulators, in this study we first analysed a total of seven Y-TFs, including YbiH, YdcI, YhjC, YiaJ, YiaU, YjgJ and YjiR. After analysis of curli fimbriae formation, LacZ-reporter assay, Northern-blot analysis and biofilm formation assay, we identified at least two novel regulators, repressor YiaJ (renamed PlaR) and activator YhjC (renamed RcdB), of the csgD promoter.

    Chloroplast biogenesis involves the coordinated expression of the plastid and nuclear genomes, requiring information to be sent from the nucleus to the developing chloroplasts and vice versa. Although it is well known how the nucleus controls chloroplast development, it is still poorly understood how the plastid communicates with the nucleus. Currently, haem is proposed as a plastid-to-nucleus (retrograde) signal that is involved in various physiological regulations, such as photosynthesis-associated nuclear genes expression and cell cycle in plants and algae. However, components that transduce haem-dependent signalling are still unidentified. In this study, by using haem-immobilized high-performance affinity beads, we performed proteomic analysis of haem-binding proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana and Cyanidioschyzon merolae. Most of the identified proteins were non-canonical haemoproteins localized in various organelles. Interestingly, half of the identified proteins were nucleus proteins, some of them have a similar function or localization in either or both organisms. Following biochemical analysis of selective proteins demonstrated haem binding. This study firstly demonstrates that nucleus proteins in plant and algae show haem-binding properties. This article is part of the theme issue 'Retrograde signalling from endosymbiotic organelles'.

    Outside a warm-blooded animal host, the enterobacterium Escherichia coli K-12 is also able to grow and survive in stressful nature. The major organic substance in nature is plant, but the genetic system of E. coli how to utilize plant-derived materials as nutrients is poorly understood. Here we describe the set of regulatory targets for uncharacterized IclR-family transcription factor YiaJ on the E. coli genome, using gSELEX screening system. Among a total of 18 high-affinity binding targets of YiaJ, the major regulatory target was identified to be the yiaLMNOPQRS operon for utilization of ascorbate from fruits and galacturonate from plant pectin. The targets of YiaJ also include the genes involved in the utilization for other plant-derived materials as nutrients such as fructose, sorbitol, glycerol and fructoselysine. Detailed in vitro and in vivo analyses suggest that L-ascorbate and α-D-galacturonate are the effector ligands for regulation of YiaJ function. These findings altogether indicate that YiaJ plays a major regulatory role in expression of a set of the genes for the utilization of plant-derived materials as nutrients for survival. PlaR was also suggested to play protecting roles of E. coli under stressful environments in nature, including the formation of biofilm. We then propose renaming YiaJ to PlaR (regulator of plant utilization). The natural hosts of enterobacterium Escherichia coli are warm-blooded animals, but even outside hosts, E. coli can survive even under stressful environments. On earth, the most common organic materials to be used as nutrients by E. coli are plant-derived components, but up to the present time, the genetic system of E. coli for plant utilization is poorly understand. In the course of gSELEX screening of the regulatory targets for hitherto uncharacterized TFs, we identified in this study the involvement of the IclR-family YiaJ in the regulation of about 20 genes or operons, of which the majority are related to the catabolism of plant-derived materials such as ascorbate, galacturonate, sorbitol, fructose and fructoselysine. Therefore, we propose to rename YiaJ to PlaR (regulator of plant utilization).

    The biogenesis of the photosynthetic apparatus in developing seedlings requires the assembly of proteins encoded on both nuclear and chloroplast genomes. To coordinate this process there needs to be communication between these organelles, but the retrograde signals by which the chloroplast communicates with the nucleus at this time are still essentially unknown. The Arabidopsis thaliana genomes uncoupled (gun) mutants, that show elevated nuclear gene expression after chloroplast damage, have formed the basis of our understanding of retrograde signaling. Of the 6 reported gun mutations, 5 are in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis proteins and this has led to the development of a model for chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling in which ferrochelatase 1 (FC1)-dependent heme synthesis generates a positive signal promoting expression of photosynthesis-related genes. However, the molecular consequences of the strongest of the gun mutants, gun1, are poorly understood, preventing the development of a unifying hypothesis for chloroplast-to-nucleus signaling. Here, we show that GUN1 directly binds to heme and other porphyrins, reduces flux through the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway to limit heme and protochlorophyllide synthesis, and can increase the chelatase activity of FC1. These results raise the possibility that the signaling role of GUN1 may be manifested through changes in tetrapyrrole metabolism, supporting a role for tetrapyrroles as mediators of a single biogenic chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling pathway.

    Pyruvate, the key regulator in connection of a variety of metabolic pathways, influences transcription of the Escherichia coli genome through controlling the activity of two pyruvate-sensing two-component systems (TCSs), BtsSR and PyrSR. Previously, we identified the whole set of regulatory targets of PyrSR with low-affinity to pyruvate. Using gSELEX screening system, we found here that BtsSR with high-affinity to pyruvate regulates more than 100 genes including as many as 13 transcription factors genes including the csgD gene encoding the master regulator of biofilm formation. CsgD regulates more than 20 target genes including the csg operons encoding the Curli fimbriae. In addition, we identified the csgBAC as one of the regulatory targets of BtsR, thus indicating the involvement of two pyruvate-dependent regulatory pathways of the curli formation: indirect regulation by CsgD; and direct regulation by BtsR. Based on the findings of the whole set of regulatory targets by two pyruvate-sensing BtsR and PyrR, we further propose an innovative concept that the pyruvate level-dependent regulation of different gene sets takes place through two pyruvate-sensing TCS systems, high-affinity BtsSR and low-affinity PyrSR to pyruvate.

    The ε subunit of Fo F1 -ATPase/synthase (Fo F1 ) plays a crucial role in regulating Fo F1 activity. To understand the physiological significance of the ε subunit-mediated regulation of Fo F1 in Bacillus subtilis, we constructed and characterized a mutant harboring a deletion in the C-terminal regulatory domain of the ε subunit (ε∆C ). Analyses using inverted membrane vesicles revealed that the ε∆C mutation decreased ATPase activity and the ATP-dependent H+ -pumping activity of Fo F1 . To enhance the effects of ε∆C mutation, this mutation was introduced into a ∆rrn8 strain harboring only two of the 10 rrn (rRNA) operons (∆rrn8 ε∆C mutant strain). Interestingly, growth of the ∆rrn8 ε∆C mutant stalled at late-exponential phase. During the stalled growth phase, the membrane potential of the ∆rrn8 ε∆C mutant cells was significantly reduced, which led to a decrease in the cellular level of 70S ribosomes. The growth stalling was suppressed by adding glucose into the culture medium. Our findings suggest that the C-terminal region of the ε subunit is important for alleviating the temporal reduction in the membrane potential, by enhancing the ATP-dependent H+ -pumping activity of Fo F1 .

  • Regulatory role of CsqR (YihW) in transcription of the genes for catabolism of the anionic sugar sulfoquinovose (SQ) in Escherichia coli K-12. 査読 国際誌

    The binding sites of YihW, an uncharacterized DeoR-family transcription factor (TF) of Escherichia coli K-12, were identified using Genomic SELEX screening at two closely located sites, one inside the spacer between the bidirectional transcription units comprising the yihUTS operon and the yihV gene, and another one upstream of the yihW gene itself. Recently the YihUTS and YihV proteins were identified as catalysing the catabolism of sulfoquinovose (SQ), a hydrolysis product of sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) derived from plants and other photosynthetic organisms. Gel shift assay in vitro and reporter assay in vivo indicated that YihW functions as a repressor for all three transcription units. De-repression of the yih operons was found to be under the control of SQ as inducer, but not of lactose, glucose or galactose. Furthermore, a mode of its cooperative DNA binding was suggested for YihW by atomic force microscopy. Hence, as a regulator of the catabolism of SQ, we renamed YihW as CsqR.

    Transcription and translation in growing phase of Escherichia coli, the best-studied model prokaryote, are coupled and regulated in coordinate fashion. Accordingly, the growth rate-dependent control of the synthesis of RNA polymerase (RNAP) core enzyme (the core component of transcription apparatus) and ribosomes (the core component of translation machinery) is tightly coordinated to keep the relative level of transcription apparatus and translation machinery constant for effective and efficient utilization of resources and energy. Upon entry into the stationary phase, transcription apparatus is modulated by replacing RNAP core-associated sigma (promoter recognition subunit) from growth-related RpoD to stationary-phase-specific RpoS. The anti-sigma factor Rsd participates for the efficient replacement of sigma, and the unused RpoD is stored silent as Rsd-RpoD complex. On the other hand, functional 70S ribosome is transformed into inactive 100S dimer by two regulators, ribosome modulation factor (RMF) and hibernation promoting factor (HPF). In this review article, we overview how we found these factors and what we know about the molecular mechanisms for silencing transcription apparatus and translation machinery by these factors. In addition, we provide our recent findings of promoter-specific transcription factor (PS-TF) screening of the transcription factors involved in regulation of the rsd and rmf genes. Results altogether indicate the coordinated regulation of Rsd and RMF for simultaneous hibernation of transcription apparatus and translation machinery.

    The identification of regulatory targets of all TFs is critical for understanding the entire network of the genome regulation. The lac regulon of Escherichia coli K-12 W3110 is composed of the lacZYA operon and its repressor lacI gene, and has long been recognized as the seminal model of transcription regulation in bacteria with only one highly preferred target. After the Genomic SELEX screening in vitro of more than 200 transcription factors (TFs) from E. coli K-12, however, we found that most TFs regulate multiple target genes. With respect to the number of regulatory targets, a total of these 200 E. coli TFs form a hierarchy ranging from a single target to as many as 1000 targets. Here we focus a total of 13 single-target TFs, 9 known TFs (BetI, KdpE, LacI, MarR, NanR, RpiR, TorR, UlaR and UxuR) and 4 uncharacterized TFs (YagI, YbaO, YbiH and YeaM), altogether forming only a minor group of TFs in E. coli. These single-target TFs were classified into three groups based on their functional regulation.

    The genome of Escherichia coli K-12 is transcribed by a single species of RNA polymerase. The selectivity of its transcriptional targets is modulated via two-steps of protein-protein interaction: at the first step, seven species of the sigma subunit are involved, at the second step, a total of approximately 300 species of transcription factor (TFs). For the identification of the regulatory targets of these two groups of regulatory proteins, we developed two in vitro approaches, "Genomic SELEX" (currently designated as gSELEX) and "PS (promoter-specific)-TF" screenings. Here, we describe a detailed protocol of the genomic SELEX screening system which uses purified regulatory proteins and fragments of genomic DNA from E. coli.

    Leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp) is a transcriptional regulator for the genes involved in transport, biosynthesis and catabolism of amino acids in Escherichia coli. In order to identify the whole set of genes under the direct control of Lrp, we performed Genomic SELEX screening and identified a total of 314 Lrp-binding sites on the E. coli genome. As a result, the regulation target of Lrp was predicted to expand from the hitherto identified genes for amino acid metabolism to a set of novel target genes for utilization of amino acids for protein synthesis, including tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthases and rRNAs. Northern blot analysis indicated alteration of mRNA levels for at least some novel targets, including the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes. Phenotype MicroArray of the lrp mutant indicated significant alteration in utilization of amino acids and peptides, whilst metabolome analysis showed variations in the concentration of amino acids in the lrp mutant. From these two datasets we realized a reverse correlation between amino acid levels and cell growth rate: fast-growing cells contain low-level amino acids, whilst a high level of amino acids exists in slow-growing cells. Taken together, we propose that Lrp is a global regulator of transcription of a large number of the genes involved in not only amino acid transport and metabolism, but also amino acid utilization.

    遺伝子発現の本質を理解するためには、RNAポリメラーゼホロ酵素が単独で認識できるプロモーター(Constitutive promoter)と、認識に何らかの補助因子が必要なプロモーター(Inducible promoter)を区別して、ゲノム上のプロモーターを同定する必要がある。本研究は生物が遺伝子を利用する仕組みを理解するために、大腸菌をモデル生物とし、Constitutive promoterの同定が可能なGenomic SELEX法(gSELEX法)を用いて、大腸菌の全7種類のシグマ因子のConstitutive promoterの決定を目指して実施されている。特に転写の開始に補助因子が必要なシグマ因子RpoNについて重点的に解析を進めている。
    今年度はgSELEX解析の実施に向けて、RNAポリメラーゼのコア酵素の精製、および、RpoNの補助因子であるNtrCの精製を行った。次に、RNAポリメラーゼコア酵素とRpoNを混合し、得られたRpoNホロ酵素についてgSELEX解析を実施した。また、同条件下に転写因子NtrCを混合した条件におけるRpoNホロ酵素、および、NtrC単独条件についてもgSELEX解析を実施した。得られたゲノムDNA断片をタイリングアレイを用いて解析し、ゲノム上の標的配列の網羅的な同定を試みた。その結果、RpoNホロ酵素およびNtrCにおいてそれぞれの既知標的プロモーターを含むゲノム上の結合領域を網羅的に同定する事に成功した。また、NtrC存在下におけるRpoNホロ酵素の結合は、RpoNホロ酵素単独条件下では検出されなかった標的が同定された。この標的は、NtrCの存在によってRpoNホロ酵素が認識できるプロモーターを示唆している。現在はその詳細な分析を進めている。

    大腸菌を用いて、代謝状態や生育の変化における炭素源代謝グローバルレギュレーターCRPのアセチル化修飾状態の変化およびアセチル化が、CRP支配下遺伝子プロモーターの転写制御に与える影響を観察した。CRPおよび転写装置であるRNA polymeraseのゲノム上の結合領域の同定に成功し、ゲノム転写制御の分子機構を理解するための基盤を築いた。また、CRPがrmfを転写制御する事により、リボソームの100S形成が促進されることを明らかとした。この分子機構は代謝と翻訳の活性をリンクさせる分子機構となることを提案した。

    大腸菌病原性遺伝子制御因子と推定されている転写因子LeuOについては、先に我々はサルファ剤をはじめとする多剤耐性遺伝子群の制御を発見した。今回、LeuOによるゲノム発現制御機構の全体像の解明を目的とし、LeuO支配下遺伝子群を網羅するためにGenomic SELEX実験を実施したところ、ゲノム上140カ所以上のLeuO認識結合配列を同定し、125の新規支配下遺伝子群の同定に成功した。その結果、LeuOが繊毛遺伝子群などのバイオフィルム形成遺伝子群の発現を制御していることが明らかとなり、病原性発揮に重要な役割を果たしていることが明らかとなった。
