In this paper, the response of the transcriptional control region of theRhodobacter sphaeroidescytochromec2gene,cycA, to intermediates in heme biosynthesis was studied. To determine ifcycAtranscription was regulated by heme availability, several precursors or analogs of tetrapyrroles were tested. Addition of δ-aminolevulinate (ALA), the first committed intermediate in heme biosynthesis, was shown to inhibitcycAtranscription initiation at both the upstream and downstream promoter regions. In addition, an ALA auxotroph, which can grow in the presence of high levels of ALA, showed a 5 to 7-fold reduction in steady-state transcription fromcycA::lacZYAoperon fusions. To identify genetic elements responsible for negative regulation by ALA,trans-acting mutants with increased expression ofcycAwere isolated that were resistant to growth inhibition by the heme analog cohemin. These cohemin-resistant mutants (Chr) have elevated levels of severalcycAtranscripts and they containcycAtranscripts that had not previously been detected in wild-type cells. In addition,cycAtranscription in the Chr mutants continues after the addition of ALA. Finally, we found that Chr mutants have increased ALA synthase activity, suggesting that synthesis of cytochromec2and ALA synthase are controlled by a common gene product whose activity has been modified in these mutants. A model is presented to explain how changes in tetrapyrrole intermediates could provide an effective signal to control bothcycAtranscription and ALA synthase synthesis inR. sphaeroides.
