(Received for publication, June, 25, 1997, and in revised form, August 1, 1997)
From the Catabolite repression of a number of catabolic
operons in bacilli is mediated by the catabolite control protein CcpA,
the phosphocarrier protein HPr from the
phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar transport system (PTS),
and a cis-acting DNA sequence termed the
catabolite-responsive element (cre). We present evidence
that CcpA interacts with HPr that is phosphorylated at
Ser46 (Ser(P) HPr) and that these proteins form a specific
ternary complex with cre DNA. Titration experiments
following the circular dichroism signal of the cre DNA
indicate that this complex consists of two molecules of Ser(P) HPr, a
CcpA dimer, and the cre sequence. Limited proteolysis
experiments indicate that the domain structure of CcpA is similar to
other members of the LacI/GalR family of helix-turn-helix proteins,
comprised of a helix-turn-helix DNA domain and a C-terminal effector
domain. NMR titration of Ser(P) HPr demonstrates that the isolated
C-terminal domain of CcpA forms a specific complex with Ser(P) HPr but
not with unphosphorylated HPr. Based upon perturbations to the NMR
spectrum, we propose that the binding site of the C-terminal domain of
CcpA on Ser(P) HPr forms a contiguous surface that encompasses both
Ser(P)46 and His15, the site of phosphorylation
by enzyme I of the PTS. This allows CcpA to recognize the
phosphorylation state of HPr, effectively linking the process of sugar
import via the PTS to catabolite repression in bacilli.
