摘要

Cell contact-mediated C signaling coordinates morphogenesis and gene expression during development of Myxococcus xanthus. One promoter that depends on C signaling for transcription lies upstream of Ω4403, the site of a Tn5 lac insertion in the genome. The Ω4403 promoter has a C-box sequence centered at ?49 bp that matches the consensus 5′-CAYYCCY-3′, which is found in several C-signal-dependent promoters. Mutational analysis of the Ω4403 promoter region was performed to test the importance of the C box and to identify other cis-acting elements. A 6-bp change in the ?10 region eliminated promoter activity, but a 6-bp change in the ?35 region decreased activity only about twofold. Certain single-base-pair changes in the C box centered at ?49 bp abolished promoter activity, establishing the importance of this sequence element. Single-base-pair changes in a C-box-like sequence centered at ?77 bp also abolished promoter activity, but the pattern of mutational effects was different from that for the C box centered at ?49 bp. Additional single-base-pair changes indicated that all 10 bp from ?79 to ?70 bp are important for Ω4403 promoter activity. Mutations at ?59, ?61, ?62, and ?63 bp also abolished promoter activity, defining a 5-bp element from ?63 to ?59 bp. This 5-bp element is separated from the 10-bp element (i.e., ?79 to ?70 bp) by 6 bp that can be changed without loss of promoter activity. Likewise, the 5 bp between the 5-bp element and the C box can be changed without loss of activity, but deletion of these 5 bp abolished activity, indicating that spacing is important. Sequences similar to the 5- and 10-bp elements, as well as the C box, are present in other C-signal-dependent promoters, suggesting some similarity in the regulatory mechanisms, but there are also indications that these cis elements do not function identically in the different promoters.
