The DegS-DegU two-component regulatory system regulates many cellular events inBacillus subtilis. Genes for DegSU constitutes an operon directed by the P1 promoter and downstreamdegUis autoregulated via the P3 promoter activated by phosphorylated DegU. In the Gram-positive bacteria, Spx plays a major role in the protection system against oxidative stresses as a transcriptional regulator. Spx is a substrate of the ATP-dependent ClpXP protease. It regulates diamide-stress regulon in addition to many genes with unknown functions. We have found that null mutations forclpXandclpP, which encode the subunits for the protease ClpXP, enhanced the DegU level through activation of the P1 promoter. We isolated four suppressors for theclpP-enhancing effect. Whole-genome sequencing of the suppressors revealed that two have a point mutation inspxand the rest have a deletion ofspx. TheclpP-enhancing effect ondegS-lacZexpression was abolished in thespxdisruptant.These results show that thedegSUoperon is a new target of Spx-mediated positive regulation. Furthermore, we found that the P1 promoter was induced by glucose and that this induction was greatly reduced in thespxmutant. These results suggested that Spx-mediated glucose induction at the P1 promoter.
