摘要

To study the transcriptional regulation of oxidative tryptophan degradation in Burkholderia , we used comparative genomics that focused on the operon containing the genes annotated as kynA , kynU and kynB . In all sequenced Beta-proteobacteria to-date, including Burkholderia , Ralstonia , Collimonas , and Cupriavidus species, there is a conserved AsnC/Lrp family transcriptional regulator (TR) gene located upstream and in the opposite strand of the operon encoding for the oxidative tryptophan degradation genes. In Burkholderia xenovorans the TR is Bxe_A0736. GST-Bxe_A0736 binds L-kynurenine with greater affinity and specificity than any other amino acid or tryptophan degradation product with a dissociation constant of ~82 ± 11 ?M. DNase I footprinting suggested that Bxe_A0736 protects a set of four degenerate, palindromic sequences within the intergenic region between Bxe_A0735 ( kynB ) and Bxe_A0736. The optimal consensus sequence obtained by analysis for these sites, ATATTCCGAATAT, closely resembles the sequence obtained with a protein binding microarray. Under our fluorescence anisotropy experimental conditions, 1 mM L-kynurenine increased the affinity of Bxe_A0736 for a portion of its promoter region. Our results are consistent with Bxe_A0736 acting as the TR that promotes the transcription of the oxidative tryptophan degradation genes in the presence of L-kynurenine while inhibiting the transcription of its own gene.
