SpoOA represses transcription of the cry toxin genes in Bacillus thuringiensis

Abstract: The DNA regions upstream from the genes encoding polypeptides of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis larvicidal crystals (cry4A, cry4B, cry7 7A) contain sequences with similarities to the spoOA box of Bacillus subtilis (or 'OA' box) and the promoter recognized by the #-associated RNA polymerase of B. subtilis. Expression of cry-lacZ transcriptional fusions was analysed in various B. thuringiensis genetic backgrounds. The early transcription of the toxin genes was not sporulation-dependent, whereas the la… Show more

“…As in Bacillus subtilis, the developmental process is temporally and spatially regulated at the transcriptional level in B. thuringiensis by successive activation of different factors (6). In B. thuringiensis, the 28 and 35 subunits of RNA polymerase are considered functionally equivalent to E K and E E , respectively, of B. subtilis and have been shown to direct toxin gene transcription during the sporulation phase (1). Most cry4A gene transcription occurs by the early sporulation-specific 35 protein, from a strong B. thuringiensis I promoter (35,36).…”

“…A transcrição é iniciada por SigE no estágio inicial da esporulação e continuada por SigK no estágio tardio . A ativação sucessiva destes dois fatores sigma na célula-mãe assegura uma transcrição intensa e contínua dos genes cry, o que permite a produção massiva de proteínas Cry durante a esporulação (Deng, C. et al, 2014 sobreposto ao promotor dependente de SigE em cry4 e cry11 (Poncet, S. et al, 1997;Yoshisue, H. et al, 1995); e na região intergênica entre a CDS de cry8E e um gene à montante, chamado orf1 (Du, L. et al, 2012). Portanto, não existe um modelo único que descreva a regulação da transcrição para todos os genes cry e os diversos padrões de expressão observados durante a esporulação dependem da combinação de promotores (Deng, C. et al, 2014).…”
