The promoter region of lapA and its transcriptional regulation by Fis in Pseudomonas putida

Abstract: LapA is the biggest protein in Pseudomonas putida and a key factor for biofilm formation. Its importance and posttranslational regulation is rather thoroughly studied but less is known about the transcriptional regulation. Here we give evidence that transcription of lapA in LB-grown bacteria is initiated from six promoters, three of which display moderate RpoS-dependence. The global transcription regulator Fis binds to the lapA promoter area at six positions in vitro, and Fis activates the transcription of lap… Show more

“…Therefore the promoter area of nuoA or part of it was cloned in front of promoterless lacZ gene in p9TT B lacZ ([ 29 ], S1 Table ), which ensures low basal activity in P . putida strains [ 22 , 29 ]. The functionality of promoters was inspected by using p9TT B lacZ derivatives p9_P nuoA 1 and p9_P nuoA 2 that contained only one nuoA potential respective promoter P N-I and P N-II in front of the lacZ test gene ( S1 Table , Fig 3A ).…”
