Extracellular signal protein triggering the proteolytic activation of a developmental transcription factor in B. subtilis
We present biochemical evidence for an intercellular signal transduction pathway in B. subtilis. This pathway governs the conversion of the proprotein pro-sigma E to mature transcription factor sigma E. Proteolytic processing is mediated by the membrane protein SpollGA and is triggered by the inferred extracellular signal protein SpollR. A factor in conditioned medium from B. subtilis cells eng...
متن کاملNegative regulation of the proteolytic activation of a developmental transcription factor in Bacillus subtilis.
The sporulation transcription factor sigmaK of Bacillus subtilis is controlled by a signal transduction pathway that operates at the level of the proteolytic processing of the inactive precursor protein pro-sigmaK. The conversion of pro-sigmaK to sigmaK requires the putative processing enzyme SpoIVFB and is governed by the regulatory proteins SpoIVFA and BofA. We engineered vegetative cells to ...
متن کاملLoss of ribosomal protein L11 blocks stress activation of the Bacillus subtilis transcription factor sigma(B).
sigma(B), the general stress response sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis, is activated when the cell's energy levels decline or the bacterium is exposed to environmental stress (e.g., heat shock, ethanol). Physical stress activates sigma(B) through a collection of regulatory kinases and phosphatases (the Rsb proteins) which catalyze the release of sigma(B) from an anti-sigma(B) factor inhibitor....
متن کاملEvaluating the Effect of Protein A Signal Peptide on Extracellular Expression of Recombinant Hirudin in E.Coli
Abstract Background and Objective: Hirudin is an anticoagulant polypeptide secreted from the salivary glands of leeches. Recombinant hirudin is a strong anticoagulant agent in arterial and venous thrombosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inserting protein A signal peptide sequence of pEZZ18 plasmid on expression and secretion...
متن کاملOn how a transcription factor can avoid its proteolytic activation in the absence of signal transduction.
In response to alkaline ambient pH, the Aspergillus nidulans PacC transcription factor mediating pH regulation of gene expression is activated by proteolytic removal of a negative-acting C-terminal domain. We demonstrate interactions involving the approximately 150 C-terminal PacC residues and two regions located immediately downstream of the DNA binding domain. Our data indicate two full-lengt...
