Abstract
  • One of the most efficient systems of acid resistance in Escherichia coli, the gad system, is based on the coordinated action of two isoforms of glutamate decarboxylase (GadA and GadB) and of a specific glutamate/?-aminobutyrate antiporter (GadC). The gadA/BC genes, activated in response to acid stress and in stationary phase cells, are subjected to complex circuits of regulation involving ?70, ?S, cAMP receptor protein, H-NS, EvgAS, TorRS, GadE, GadX, GadW, and YdeO. Herein, we provide evidence that the nucleoid-associated protein H-NS directly functions as repressor of gadA, one of the structural genes, and gadX, a regulatory gene encoding one of the primary activators of the gad system. Band shift and DNase I footprints reveal that H-NS indeed binds to specific sites in the promoter regions of gadA and gadX and represses the transcription of these genes both in an in vitro system and in vivo. Moreover, we show that a maltose-binding protein MalE-GadX fusion is able to stimulate the promoter activity of gadA/BC, thus indicating that GadX is by itself able to up-regulate the gad genes and that a functional competition between H-NS and GadX takes place at the gadA promoter. Altogether, our results indicate that H-NS directly inhibits gadA and gadX transcription and, by controlling the intracellular level of the activator GadX, indirectly affects the expression of the whole gad system.
