NtrC(nitrogenregulatoryproteinC)是一种由469个氨基酸残基组成的细菌增强子结合蛋白,通过σ54全酶激活转录。其转录激活(中央)结构域的一个区域在σ54同源激活因子中高度保守-全酶-残基206-220-对于与这种RNA聚合酶的相互作用是必需的:它是与聚合酶接触和/或将ATP水解的能量偶联到聚合酶构象的变化所必需的,从而使其形成转录生产性开放复合物。几个在该区域具有氨基酸取代的突变NtrC蛋白,包括NtrCA 216 V和NtrCG 219 K,具有正常的ATP酶活性,但不能转录激活。我们现在报道了在这些相同位置携带氨基酸取代的其他突变形式,NtrCA 216 C和NtrCG 219 C,当它们不与DNA模板结合时能够激活转录(在蛋白质的C末端具有改变的螺旋-转角-螺旋DNA结合基序的非DNA结合衍生物),但当它们与DNA模板结合时不能这样做,无论它是否携带特异性增强子。增强子DNA仍然是ATP水解的正变构效应物,就像它对于野生型NtrC一样,但令人惊讶的是,似乎已经成为与σ54-全酶相互作用的某些方面的负变构效应物。发生这些氨基酸取代的保守区(206-220)相当于一大组嘌呤核苷酸结合蛋白的开关I区。在NtrC的开关I区域和p21 ras的开关I区域之间可以得出有趣的类比。
NtrC (nitrogen regulatory protein C) is a bacterial enhancer-binding protein of 469 residues that activates transcription by σ54-holoenzyme. A region of its transcriptional activation (central) domain that is highly conserved among homologous activators of σ54-holoenzyme—residues 206–220—is essential for interaction with this RNA polymerase: it is required for contact with the polymerase and/or for coupling the energy from ATP hydrolysis to a change in the conformation of the polymerase that allows it to form transcriptionally productive open complexes. Several mutant NtrC proteins with amino acid substitutions in this region, including NtrCA216Vand NtrCG219K, have normal ATPase activity but fail in transcriptional activation. We now report that other mutant forms carrying amino acid substitutions at these same positions, NtrCA216Cand NtrCG219C, are capable of activating transcription when they are not bound to a DNA template (non-DNA-binding derivatives with an altered helix–turn–helix DNA-binding motif at the C terminus of the protein) but are unable to do so when they are bound to a DNA template, whether or not it carries a specific enhancer. Enhancer DNA remains a positive allosteric effector of ATP hydrolysis, as it is for wild-type NtrC but, surprisingly, appears to have become a negative allosteric effector for some aspect of interaction with σ54-holoenzyme. The conserved region in which these amino acid substitutions occur (206–220) is equivalent to the Switch I region of a large group of purine nucleotide-binding proteins. Interesting analogies can be drawn between the Switch I region of NtrC and that of p21ras.
