Abstract |
The homologous transcriptional regulators ScbR and ScbR2 have previously been identified as γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and antibiotic receptors, respectively. They regulate diverse physiological processes in Streptomyces coelicolor in response to GBL and antibiotic signals. In this study, ScbR and ScbR2 proteins were shown to interact using a bacterial two-hybrid system where adenylate cyclase activity was reconstituted in Escherichia coli BTH101. These ScbR/ScbR2 interactions in S. coelicolor were then demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation. The ScbR/ScbR2 heterodimer was shown to co-exist with their ScbR and ScbR2 respective homodimers. When potential operator targets in S. coelicolor were investigated, the heterodimer was found to bind in the promoter region of sco5158, which however was not a target for ScbR or ScbR2 homodimers. These results revealed a new mechanism of regulation by ScbR and ScbR2 in S. coelicolor. |
