Abstract：
:Legionella pneumophila grows in amoebae and has achieved the ability to grow at various temperatures, although the mechanisms controlling this ability remain poorly understood. The Icm/Dot type IVB secretion system is composed of more than 25 proteins and is known to be essential for intracellular growth. The role of the icmN gene in intracellular multiplication and the effects of culture temperatures on it are not precisely understood. We conducted our investigation using an icmN mutant made by gene replacement mutagenesis. Intracellular growth of the mutant was impaired both in mammalian macrophages and amoeba at 37 °C. In particular, intracellular growth in amoebae was completely impaired at 25 °C. It was found that genes from icmN to icmC formed an operon, i.e., icmN, -M, -L, -E, -G, -C,, and the promoter activity of the icmN operon was stronger at 25 than at 37 °C. It was suggested that icmM and its downstream genes had a secondary promoter that enables icmN mutant grow in amoebae at lower temperatures and macrophages at 37 °C. These results show that the icmN promoter has a low temperature inducible nature, and gene products of the icmN operon require high expression for bacterial proliferation at low temperatures within amoeba.
