Differential regulation of two oligogalacturonate outer membrane channels, KdgN and KdgM, of Dickeya dadantii (Erwinia chrysanthemi).

Abstract:

:The entry of oligogalacturonates into Dickeya dadantii occurs through the specific channel KdgM. The genome of the bacterium encodes a second member of this family of outer membrane proteins, KdgN. We showed that this protein is also involved in the uptake of oligogalacturonates. When KdgN was reconstituted in proteoliposomes, it formed channels with a conductance of about 450 pS at a positive potential. These channels had weak anionic selectivity. The regulation of kdgN is complex, and five genes controlling the expression of kdgN have been identified: kdgR, pecS, ompR, hns, and crp. Moreover, kdgN was regulated by growth phase but only when bacteria were grown in rich medium. Most of these regulators of kdgN also control kdgM expression, but some of them regulate kdgM in the opposite manner: while PecS and OmpR are repressors of kdgM, they are activators of kdgN. This pattern resembles the regulation of the Escherichia coli general porins OmpF and OmpC, but such opposite regulation of two specific outer membrane channels has never been described before. KdgN may allow the bacteria to collect oligogalacturonates under saprophytic conditions, when virulence genes, including kdgM, are not expressed.
