摘要

The tol-oprL region in Pseudomonas aeruginosa appears to be involved in pyocin uptake and required for cell viability. The complete nucleotide sequences of thetolQRA and oprL genes as well as the incomplete sequences of tolB and orf2 have been previously reported. In addition, the sequence of a P. aeruginosairon-regulated gene (pig6) has been described and found to share homology with an open reading frame located upstream of theEscherichia coli tolQRA genes (U. A. Ochsner and M. L. Vasil, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:4409–4414, 1996). In this study, we cloned the remainder of the P. aeruginosa tol-oprL gene cluster and determined its nucleotide sequence. This cluster was found to consist of seven genes in the orderorf1 tolQ tolR tolA tolB oprL orf2. Transcriptional analysis of this gene cluster was performed by detecting the presence of mRNAs spanning adjacent genes as well as by using a promoterlesslacZ reporter gene fused to each of the seven genes contained in the tol-oprL locus. The results show that there are three major transcriptional units or operons in this region,orf1-tolQRA, tolB, and oprL-orf2, in contrast to the E. coli tol-pal region, where there are only two operons, orf1-tolQRA andtolB-pal-orf2. Analysis of gene expression indicated that the tol-oprL genes of P. aeruginosa are both iron and growth phase modulated. The first operon,orf1-tolQRA, is iron regulated throughout growth, but iron-regulated expression of tolB and oprLfusions occurs only in late log phase. The expression of the three operons was significantly less repressed by iron in furmutants than in the wild-type strain, suggesting the involvement of Fur in the iron regulation of all three operons. RegA is a positive yet nonessential regulator of tol-oprL expression.
