在野生型大肠杆菌细胞中,DNA 复制的启动与细胞生长紧密相关。在缓慢生长的 dnaA204 (Ts) 突变细胞中,起始时的细胞质量及其变异性相对于野生型增加了两到三倍。在这里,我们发现 dnaA204 突变体中的 DnaA 蛋白浓度比野生型菌株低两到三倍。人们发现 DnaA 蛋白缺乏的原因是突变蛋白的快速降解。 SeqA 蛋白的缺失稳定了 DnaA204 蛋白,增加了 DnaA 蛋白浓度并使 dnaA204 突变细胞中的起始质量正常化。在快速生长过程中,dnaA204 突变体表现出与野生型细胞相似的细胞周期参数以及正常的 DnaA 蛋白浓度,尽管 DnaA204 蛋白高度不稳定。显然,增加的 DnaA 蛋白质合成补偿了这些生长条件下的蛋白质降解,其中倍增时间与蛋白质的半衰期处于同一数量级。我们的结果表明,DnaA204 蛋白在允许的温度下基本上具有野生型活性,但由于不稳定,该蛋白在某些生长条件下以较低浓度存在。在没有 SeqA 的情况下稳定的基础尚不清楚。我们认为,在缺乏 SeqA 的情况下,稳定的 DnaA-DNA 复合物的形成会增强,从而保护 DnaA 蛋白免遭降解。
In wild‐type Escherichia coli cells, initiation of DNA replication is tightly coupled to cell growth. In slowly growing dnaA204 (Ts) mutant cells, the cell mass at initiation and its variability is increased two‐ to threefold relative to wild type. Here, we show that the DnaA protein concentration was two‐ to threefold lower in the dnaA204 mutant compared with the wild‐type strain. The reason for the DnaA protein deficiency was found to be a rapid degradation of the mutant protein. Absence of SeqA protein stabilized the DnaA204 protein, increased the DnaA protein concentration and normalized the initiation mass in the dnaA204 mutant cells. During rapid growth, the dnaA204 mutant displayed cell cycle parameters similar to wild‐type cells as well as a normal DnaA protein concentration, even though the DnaA204 protein was highly unstable. Apparently, the increased DnaA protein synthesis compensated for the protein degradation under these growth conditions, in which the doubling time was of the same order of magnitude as the half‐life of the protein. Our results suggest that the DnaA204 protein has essentially wild‐type activity at permissive temperature but, as a result of instability, the protein is present at lower concentration under certain growth conditions. The basis for the stabilization in the absence of SeqA is not known. We suggest that the formation of stable DnaA–DNA complexes is enhanced in the absence of SeqA, thereby protecting the DnaA protein from degradation.
