Swarming motility is ultimately mediated by the proton-powered lateral flagellar (laf) system inVibrio parahaemolyticus. Expression oflafgenes is tightly regulated by a number of environmental conditions and regulatory factors. The nucleoid-associated DNA-binding protein H-NS is a small and abundant protein that is widely distributed in bacteria, and H-NS-like protein-dependent expression oflafgenes has been identified inVibrio choleraeandV. parahaemolyticus. The data presented here show that H-NS acts as a repressor of the swarming motility inV. parahaemolyticus. A single σ28-dependent promoter was detected forlafAencoding the flagellin of the lateral flagella, and its activity was directly repressed by H-NS. Thus, H-NS represses swarming motility by directly acting onlafA. Briefly, this work revealed a novel function for H-NS as a repressor of the expression oflafAand swarming motility inV. parahaemolyticus.
