摘要

Escherichia coli SoxS activates transcription of the genes of the soxRS regulon, which provide the cell's defense against oxidative stress. In response to this stress, SoxS is synthesized de novo. Because the DNA binding site of SoxS is highly degenerate, SoxS efficiently activates transcription by the mechanism of prerecruitment. In prerecruitment, newly synthesized SoxS first forms binary complexes with RNA polymerase. These complexes then scan the chromosome for class I and II SoxS-dependent promoters, using the specific DNA-recognition properties of SoxS and sigma(70) to distinguish SoxS-dependent promoters from the vast excess of sequence-equivalent soxboxes that do not reside in promoters. Previously, we determined that SoxS interacts with RNA polymerase in two ways: by making protein-protein interactions with the DNA-binding determinant of the alpha subunit and by interacting with sigma(70) region 4 (sigma(70) R4) both "on-DNA" and "off-DNA." Here, we address the question of how SoxS and sigma(70) R4 coexist at class II promoters, where the binding site for SoxS either partially or completely overlaps the -35 region of the promoter, which is usually bound by sigma(70) R4. To do so, we created a tri-alanine scanning library that covers all of sigma(70) R4. We determined that interactions between sigma(70) R4 and the DNA in the promoter's -35 region are required for activation of class I promoters, where the binding site lies upstream of the -35 hexamer, but they are not required at class II promoters. In contrast, specific three-amino-acid stretches are required for activation of class I (lac) and class II (galP1) cyclic AMP receptor protein-dependent promoters. We conclude from these data that SoxS and sigma(70) R4 interact with each other in a novel way at class II SoxS-dependent promoters such that the two proteins do not accommodate one another in the -35 region but instead SoxS binding there occludes the binding of sigma(70) R4.
