From the Transcription of ptsG encoding
glucose-specific permease, enzyme IICBGlc, in
Escherichia coli is initiated from two promoters, P1 and P2. ptsG transcription is repressed by Mlc, a
glucose-inducible regulator of carbohydrate metabolism. The regulation
of ptsG P1 transcription is also under positive control by
cyclic AMP receptor protein and cyclic AMP complex (CRP·cAMP) as
observed in other Mlc regulon. We report here that Fis, one of the
nucleoid-associated proteins, plays a key role in glucose induction of
Mlc regulon. ptsG transcription was induced when wild-type
cells were grown in the presence of glucose. However, in a
fis mutant, the basal level of ptsG
transcription was higher but decreased when cells were grown in the
presence of glucose, which implies the possibility of regulatory
interactions among Fis, Mlc, and CRP·cAMP. Footprinting experiments
with various probes and transcription assays revealed that Fis assists
both Mlc repression and CRP·cAMP activation of ptsG P1
through the formation of Fis·CRP·Mlc or Fis·CRP
nucleoprotein complexes at ptsG P1 promoter depending on
the availability of glucose in the growth medium. ptsG P2
transcription was inhibited by Fis and Mlc. Tighter Mlc
repression and enhanced CRP·cAMP activation of ptsG P1 by
Fis enable cells to regulate Mlc regulon efficiently by selectively
controlling the concentration of enzyme IICBGlc that
modulates Mlc activity.
