摘要

Two genes of the sigB operon,rsbU and rsbV, were deleted in anrsbU + strain (FDA486) to evaluate the contribution of these two genes to ?B activity inStaphylococcus aureus. The ?B protein level and the transcription of two ?B-dependent promoters (sigB and sarA P3 transcripts) were analyzed in the constructed mutants. A deletion of the first gene (rsbU) within the sigB operon led only to a partial reduction in ?β activity. A deletion of the second gene (rsbV) resulted in a more dramatic reduction in the ?B protein level and its activity than did the deletion of rsbU, thus indicating that RsbV can be activated independent of RsbU. In the parental strain, the ?B-dependent transcript initiated upstream ofrsbV was 28-fold higher than the ?A-dependent transcript originating from thersbU promoter. The level of the ?B-dependent transcript decreased up to 50% in thersbU mutant and up to 90% in the rsbVmutant compared with the transcript in the wild type. The yellow pigment of S. aureus colonies, a ?B-dependent phenotype, was partially reduced in thersbU and rsbV mutants, whereas alpha-hemolysin was increased. Additionally, the sarA P3 promoter activity of the parental strain was induced to a higher level in response to pH 5.5 than was that of the rsbU orrsbV mutant, indicating that RsbU is the major activator of the ?B response to acid stress. Using a tetracycline-inducible system to modulate the expression of RsbW, we progressively repressed pigment production, presumably by reducing the free ?B level. Collectively, our data indicated that RsbU and RsbV in S. aureus contributed to different levels of ?B protein expression and varying ?B activities. Although RsbV can activate ?B independent of RsbU, RsbU remains the major activator of ?B during acid stress.
