| Abstract |
The pepN gene codes for aminopeptidase N whose expression is regulated at the transcriptional level by anaerobiosis and phosphate starvation. To define and characterize the functional region of the pepN promoter (pepNp), various promoter fragments were fused to the malPQ operon of Escherichia coli and transferred to the chromosome. The expression of the single copy operon fusion was measured by assaying the amylomaltase activity. Sequences upstream from the canonical promoter elements, located 110 to 60 bp preceding the transcription start site, are important for promoter functioning. This region plays a role in the expression of the two divergent promoters pepNp and pncBp. The regulation of pepNp under phosphate starvation was conserved in the various constructs in which pepNp is functional. However, no particular sequence specific for phosphate regulation was detected. In addition, the regulation of pncBp by Pi starvation was demonstrated. |
