A catabolite-responsive element (CRE), a binding site for the CcpA transcription factor, was identified within the sigL structural gene encoding sigma(L) in Bacillus subtilis. We show that CcpA binds to this CRE to regulate sigL expression by a "roadblock" mechanism and that this mechanism in part accounts for catabolite repression of sigma(L)-directed levD operon expression.
在枯草芽孢杆菌中,编码σ因子(L)的sigL结构基因内发现了一种分解代谢物反应元件(CRE),它是CcpA转录因子的结合位点。我们发现,CcpA通过一种“路障”机制与该CRE结合,从而调控sigL的表达,并且这种机制在一定程度上解释了分解代谢物对由σ因子(L)指导的levD操纵子表达的阻遏作用。
