An internal region of rpoB is required for autogenous translational regulation of the beta subunit of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase.

Abstract:

:In order to delineate the region involved in feedback regulation of the RNA polymerase beta subunit (encoded by rpoB), a collection of rpoB-lacZ translational fusions with different endpoints both upstream and downstream of the rpoB start site was assembled on lambda phage vectors. The extent of translational repression of beta was monitored by measuring beta-galactosidase levels in monolysogens of the fusions under conditions of increased intracellular concentrations of beta and beta' achieved via the induction of rpoBC expression from a multicopy plasmid. A construct containing as little as 29 bp upstream of the start of rpoB exhibited repression of beta-galactosidase activity to the same extent as a construct encoding the full upstream region. A construct which carried only 70 bp of the rpoB structural gene exhibited very little repression, while constructs which carried 126 or 221 bp of rpoB exhibited approximately the same degree of repression as a construct which carried 403 bp. These data suggest that the sequences important for feedback regulation of beta translation extend more than 70 bp into rpoB but are completely contained within a region which spans the sequences from 29 bp upstream to 126 bp downstream of the translational start site.
