    Notizen: The Bacillus subtilis homologous transcriptional antiterminators LicT and SacY control the inducible expression of genes involved in aryl β-glucoside and sucrose utilization respectively. Their RNA-binding activity is carried by the N-terminal domain (CAT), and is regulated by two similar C-terminal domains (PRD1 and PRD2), which are the targets of phosphorylation reactions catalysed by the phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS). In the absence of the corresponding inducer, LicT is inactivated by BglP, the PTS permease (EII) specific for aryl β-glucosides, and SacY by SacX, a negative regulator homologous to the EII specific for sucrose. LicT, but not SacY, is also subject to a positive control by the general PTS components EI and HPr, which are thought to phosphorylate LicT in the absence of carbon catabolite repression. Construction of SacY/LicT hybrids and mutational analysis enabled the location of the sites of this positive regulation at the two phosphorylatable His207 and His269 within LicT-PRD2, and suggested that the presence of negative charges at these sites is sufficient for LicT activation in vivo. The BglP-mediated inhibition process was found to essentially involve His100 of LicT-PRD1, with His159 of the same domain playing a minor role in this regulation. In vitro experiments indicated that His100 could be phosphorylated directly by the general PTS proteins, this phosphorylation being stimulated by P∼BglP. We confirmed that, similarly, the corresponding conserved His99 residue in SacY is the major site of the negative control exerted by SacX on SacY activity. Thus, for both antiterminators, the EII-mediated inhibition process seems to rely primarily on the presence of a negative charge at the first conserved histidine of the PRD1.

    Notizen: The Bacillus subtilis glpFK operon encoding the glycerol transport facilitator (GlpF) and glycerol kinase (GlpK) is induced by glycerol-3-P and repressed by rapidly metabolizable sugars. Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) of glpFK is partly mediated via a catabolite response element cre preceding glpFK. This operator site is recognized by the catabolite control protein A (CcpA) in complex with one of its co-repressors, P-Ser-HPr or P-Ser-Crh. HPr is a component of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phos-photransferase system (PTS), and Crh is an HPr homologue. The hprK-encoded HPr kinase phosphorylates HPr and Crh at Ser-46. But in neither ccpA nor hprK mutants was expression of a glpF′–lacZ fusion relieved from CCR, as a second, CcpA-independent CCR mechanism implying the terminator tglpFK, whose formation is prevented by the glycerol-3-P-activated antiterminator GlpP, is operative. Deletion of tglpFK led to elevated expression of the glpF′–lacZ fusion and to partial relief from CCR. CCR completely disappeared in ΔtglpFK mutants carrying a disruption of ccpA or hprK. The tglpFK-requiring CCR mechanism seems to be based on insufficient synthesis of glycerol-3-P, as CCR of glpFK was absent in ccpA mutants growing on glycerol-3-P or synthesizing H230R mutant GlpK. In cells growing on glycerol, glucose prevents the phosphorylation of GlpK by P~His-HPr. P~GlpK is much more active than GlpK, and the absence of P~GlpK formation in ΔptsHI strains prevents glycerol metabolism. As a consequence, only small amounts of glycerol-3-P will be formed in glycerol and glucose-exposed cells (inducer exclusion). The uptake of glycerol-3-P via GlpT provides high concentrations of this metabolite in the ccpA mutant and allows the expression of the glpF′–lacZ fusion even when glucose is present. Similarly, despite the presence of glucose, large amounts of glycerol-3-P are formed in a glycerol-exposed strain synthesizing GlpKH230R, as this mutant GlpK is as active as P~GlpK.

    Notizen: The HPr kinase of Gram-positive bacteria is an ATP-dependent serine protein kinase, which phosphorylates the HPr protein of the bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS) and is involved in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. The hprK gene from Enterococcus faecalis was cloned via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence was confirmed by microscale Edman degradation and mass spectrometry combined with collision-induced dissociation of tryptic peptides derived from the HPr kinase of E. faecalis. The gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, which does not contain any ATP-dependent HPr kinase or phosphatase activity. The homogeneous recombinant protein exhibits the expected HPr kinase activity as well as a P-Ser-HPr phosphatase activity, which was assumed to be a separate enzyme activity. The bifunctional HPr kinase/phosphatase acts preferentially as a kinase at high ATP levels of 2 mM occurring in glucose-metabolizing Streptococci. At low ATP levels, the enzyme hydrolyses P-Ser-HPr. In addition, high concentrations of phosphate present under starvation conditions inhibit the HPr kinase activity. Thus, a putative function of the enzyme may be to adjust the ratio of HPr and P-Ser-HPr according to the metabolic state of the cell; P-Ser-HPr is involved in carbon catabolite repression and regulates sugar uptake via the phosphotransferase system (PTS). Reinvestigation of the previously described Bacillus subtilis HPr kinase revealed that it also possesses P-Ser-HPr phosphatase activity. However, contrary to the E. faecalis enzyme, ATP alone was not sufficient to switch the phosphatase activity of the B. subtilis enzyme to the kinase activity. A change in activity of the B. subtilis HPr kinase was only observed when fructose-1,6-bisphosphate was also present.

    Notizen: Catabolite repression of Bacillus subtilis catabolic operons is supposed to occur via a negative regulatory mechanism involving the recognition of a cis-acting catabolite-responsive element (cre) by a complex of CcpA, which is a member of the GalR-LacI family of bacterial regulatory proteins, and the seryl-phos-phorylated form of HPr (P-ser-HPr), as verified by recent studies on catabolite repression of the gnt operon. Analysis of the gnt promoter region by deletions and point mutations revealed that in addition to the ere in the first gene (gntR) of the gnt operon (credown), this operon contains another ere located in the promoter region (creup). A translational gntR-lacZ fusion expressed under the control of various combinations of wild-type and mutant credown and creup was integrated into the chromosomal amyE locus, and then catabolite repression of p-galac-tosidase synthesis in the resultant integrants was examined. The in vivo results implied that catabolite repression exerted by creup was probably independent of catabolite repression exerted by credown; both creup and credown catabolite repression involved CcpA. Catabolite repression exerted by creup was independent of P-ser-HPr, and catabolite repression exerted by credown was partially independent of P-ser-HPr. DNase I footprinting experiments indicated that a complex of CcpA and P-ser-HPr did not recognize creup, in contrast to its specific recognition of credown. However, CcpA complexed with glucose-6-phosphate specifically recognized creup as well as credown, but the physiological significance of this complexing is unknown.

    Notizen: Catabolite repression of various Bacillus subtilis catabolic operons which carry a cis-acting catabolite-responsive element (ORE), such as the gnt operon, is mediated by CcpA, a protein belonging to the GalR-Lacl family of bacterial transcriptional repressors/activators, and the seryl-phosphorylated form of HPr, a phosphocarrier protein of the phosphoenol-pyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system. Footprinting experiments revealed that the purified CcpA protein interacted with P-ser-HPr to cause specific protection of the gnt CRE against DNase I digestion. The specific recognition of the gnt CRE was confirmed by the results of footprinting experiments using mutant gnt CREs carrying one of the following base substitutions within the CRE consensus sequence: G to T at position +149 or C to Tat position +154 (+1 is the gnt transcription initiation nucleotide). The two mutant CREs causing a partial relief from catabolite repression were not protected by the CcpA/P-ser-HPr complex in footprinting experiments. Based on these and previous findings, we propose a molecular mechanism underlying catabolite repression in B. subtilis mediated by CcpA and P-ser-HPr.

    Notizen: CcpA, the repressor/activator mediating carbon catabolite repression and glucose activation in many Gram-positive bacteria, has been purified from Bacillus megaterium after fusing it to a His tag. CcpA-his immobilized on a Ni-NTA resin specifically interacted with HPr phosphorylated at seryl residue 46. HPr, a phosphocarrier protein of the phosphoenolpyruvate: glycose phosphotransferase system (PTS), can be phosphorylated at two different sites: (i) at His-15 in a PEP-dependent reaction catalysed by enzyme I of the PTS; and (ii) at Ser-46 in an ATP-dependent reaction catalysed by a metabolite-activated protein kinase. Neither unphosphorylated HPr nor HPr phosphorylated at His-15 nor the doubly phosphorylated HPr bound to CcpA. The interaction with seryl-phosphorylated HPr required the presence of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. These findings suggest that carbon catabolite repression in Gram-positive bacteria is a protein kinase-triggered mechanism. Glycolytic intermediates, stimulating the corresponding protein kinase and the P-ser-HPr/CcpA complex formation, provide a link between glycolytic activity and carbon catabolite repression. The sensitivity of this complex formation to phosphorylation of HPr at His-15 also suggests a link between carbon catabolite repression and PTS transport activity.

    Notizen: We have cloned and sequenced the Lactobacillus casei ptsH and ptsI genes, which encode enzyme I and HPr, respectively, the general components of the phosphoenolpyruvate–carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS). Northern blot analysis revealed that these two genes are organized in a single-transcriptional unit whose expression is partially induced. The PTS plays an important role in sugar transport in L. casei, as was confirmed by constructing enzyme I-deficient L. casei mutants, which were unable to ferment a large number of carbohydrates (fructose, mannose, mannitol, sorbose, sorbitol, amygdaline, arbutine, salicine, cellobiose, lactose, tagatose, trehalose and turanose). Phosphorylation of HPr at Ser-46 is assumed to be important for the regulation of sugar metabolism in Gram-positive bacteria. L. casei ptsH mutants were constructed in which phosphorylation of HPr at Ser-46 was either prevented or diminished (replacement of Ser-46 of HPr with Ala or Thr respectively). In a third mutant, Ile-47 of HPr was replaced with a threonine, which was assumed to reduce the affinity of P–Ser–HPr for its target protein CcpA. The ptsH mutants exhibited a less pronounced lag phase during diauxic growth in a mixture of glucose and lactose, two PTS sugars, and diauxie was abolished when cells were cultured in a mixture of glucose and the non-PTS sugars ribose or maltose. The ptsH mutants synthesizing Ser-46–Ala or Ile-47–Thr mutant HPr were partly or completely relieved from carbon catabolite repression (CCR), suggesting that the P–Ser–HPr/CcpA-mediated mechanism of CCR is common to most low G+C Gram-positive bacteria. In addition, in the three constructed ptsH mutants, glucose had lost its inhibitory effect on maltose transport, providing for the first time in vivo evidence that P–Ser–HPr participates also in inducer exclusion.
