Abstract

CodY of Lactococcus lactis MG1363 is a transcriptional regulator that represses the expression of several genes encoding proteins of the proteolytic system. DNA microarray analysis, comparing the expression profiles of L. lactis MG1363 and an isogenic strain in which codY was mutated, was used to determine the CodY regulon. In peptide-rich medium and exponentially growing cells, where CodY exerts strong repressing activity, the expression of over 30 genes was significantly increased upon removal of codY. The differentially expressed genes included those predominantly involved in amino acid transport and metabolism. In addition, several genes belonging to other functional categories were derepressed, stressing the pleiotropic role of CodY. Scrutinizing the transcriptome data with bioinformatics tools revealed the presence of a novel over-represented motif in the upstream regions of several of the genes derepressed in L. lactis MG1363DeltacodY. Evidence is presented that this 15-bp cis-sequence, AATTTTCWGAAAATT, serves as a high affinity binding site for CodY, as shown by electrophoretic mobility shift assays and DNase I footprinting analyses. The presence of this CodY-box is sufficient to evoke CodY-mediated regulation in vivo. A copy of this motif is also present in the upstream region of codY itself. It is shown that CodY regulates its own synthesis and requires the CodY-box and branched-chain amino acids to interact with its promoter.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
