Dimer form of phosphorylated Spo0A, a transcriptional regulator, stimulates the spo0F transcription at the initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract:

:The Spo0A protein of Bacillus subtilis is a transcriptional regulator that shows extensive homology to the regulator proteins in bacterial two-component regulatory systems. Phosphorylation of Spo0A is absolutely necessary for the initiation of sporulation. We now show that phospho-Spo0A is a dimer, binds specifically to the spo0F promoter region, and stimulates the transcription from the P2 promoter recognized by sigma H-RNA polymerase. Biochemical and biological analyses suggest that phospho-Spo0A interacts directly with the "0A-like box" sequence (TGTCGTA) located in the spo0F promoter region. Phosphorylation of Spo0A enhanced its affinity to the 0A-like box. Evidence is also presented that the spo0F promoter region contains a static bend having two sets of oligo(dA-dT) tracts. It was demonstrated that the bending region overlaps with the recognition site for the phospho-Spo0A.
