In this study, we have explored the transcriptomic response of D39 to N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). Transcriptome comparison of D39 wild-type grown in chemically defined medium (CDM) in the presence of 0.5% NAG to that grown in the presence of 0.5% glucose revealed elevated expression of many genes/operons, including , and . We have further confirmed the NAG-dependent expression of , and by β-galactosidase assays. and are putatively regulated by a transcriptional regulator NagR. We predicted the operator site of NagR ( site) in P, P, and P, which was further confirmed by mutating the predicted site in the respective promoters (, and ). Growth comparison of Δ, Δ, and Δ with the D39 wild-type demonstrates that and are essential for D39 to grow in the presence of NAG as a sole carbon source. Furthermore, deletion of shows that CcpA has no effect on the expression of , and in the presence of NAG in . .
在本研究中,我们探究了D39对N - 乙酰葡糖胺(NAG)的转录组反应。将在含有0.5% NAG的化学限定培养基(CDM)中生长的D39野生型与在含有0.5%葡萄糖的培养基中生长的D39野生型进行转录组比较,结果显示许多基因/操纵子的表达上调,包括 ,以及 。我们通过β - 半乳糖苷酶测定进一步证实了 、 和 的NAG依赖性表达。 和 可能受转录调节因子NagR调控。我们预测了P、P和P中NagR的操纵子位点( 位点),通过在各自启动子( 、 和 )中突变预测的 位点进一步证实了这一点。Δ、Δ和Δ与D39野生型的生长比较表明, 和 对于D39在以NAG作为唯一碳源的情况下生长至关重要。此外, 的缺失表明在 中存在NAG的情况下,CcpA对 、 和 的表达没有影响。
