Regulation of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase expression in Rhodospirillum rubrum: characteristics of mRNA synthesized in vivo and in vitro

Abstract: The synthesis of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCase) in Rhodospirillum rubrum was regulated by the CO2 concentration in the culture medium. The specific activity of RuBPCase in cells grown photolithotrophically in low concentrations of CO2 (1.5%) was five to ten times higher than that in cultures grown at high concentrations of CO2 (10%). Increased enzyme activity was reflected by an increase in both RuBPCase mRNA and RuBPCase protein. RuBPCase expression was also studied in vitro with a… Show more

“…Reactions with restriction and modifying enzymes were carried out under the conditions recommended by the suppliers. Double-stranded DNA fragments were radioactively labeled with [␣- 32 P]dCTP with a random primer labeling kit (Life Technologies, Eggenstein, Germany), and oligonucleotides were labeled with [␥ 32 P]ATP be means of the polynucleotide kinase reaction. DNA sequencing was conducted on both strands by the dideoxy chain termination method (40) with a T7 DNA polymerase sequencing kit (Pharmacia, Freiburg, Germany).…”

“…The high levels of regulated expression by the upstream cbbM sequence in R. sphaeroides, as well as mRNA initiation mapping data (32), substantiate that this region contains a genuine promoter. In addition, the lack of promoter activity exhibited by plasmid pRR523 (Fig.…”

“…3B). R. rubrum cbbM promoter activity was thus evident for all plasmids introduced in R sphaeroides, except pRPS523, which includes 327 bp in front of the cbbM translational start codon and within which a cbbM transcriptional initiation site has been mapped (32). The identity of the upstream gene proximal to cbbM as cbbR thus implicates CbbR as a requirement for cbbM expression in the R sphaeroides host strain (Fig.…”
