摘要
Unlike Bacillus subtilis, Streptomyces coelicolor contains nine SigB homologues of the stress-response sigma factor SigB. By using a two-plasmid system, we previously identified promoters recognized by these sigma factors. Almost all promoters were recognized by several SigB homologues. However, no specific sequences of these promoters were found. One of these promoters, ssgBp, was selected to examine this cross-recognition in the native host. It controls the expression of the sporulation-specific gene ssgB. Using a luciferase reporter, the activity of this promoter in S. coelicolor and nine mutant strains lacking individual sigB homologous genes showed that sgBp is dependent on three sigma factors, SigH, SigN, and SigI. To determine which nucleotides in the-10 region are responsible for the selection of a specific SigB homologue, promoters mutated at the last three nucleotide positions were tested in the two-plasmid system. Some mutant promoters were specifically recognized by a distinct set of SigB homologues. Analysis of these mutant promoters in the native host showed the role of these nucleotides. A conserved nucleotide A at position 5 was essential for promoter activity, and two variable nucleotides at positions 4 and 6 were responsible for the partial selectivity of promoter recognition by SigB homologues.
