ABSTRACT To overcome the adverse impacts of environmental stresses during growth, different adaptive regulation mechanisms can be activated in Lactococcus lactis. In this study, the transcription levels of eight transcriptional regulators of L. lactis subsp. lactis F44 under acid stress were analyzed using quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Eight gene-overexpressing strains were then constructed to examine their influences on acid-resistant capability. Overexpressing ythA, a PspC family transcriptional regulator, increased the survival rate by 3.2-fold compared to the control at the lethal pH 3.0 acid shock. Moreover, the nisin yield was increased by 45.50%. The ythA-overexpressing strain FythA appeared to have higher intracellular pH stability and nisin-resistant ability. Subsequently, transcriptome analysis revealed that the vast majority of genes associated with amino acid biosynthesis, including arginine, serine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine, were predominantly upregulated in FythA. Arginine biosynthesis (argG and argH), arginine deiminase pathway, and polar amino acid transport (ysfE and ysfF) were proposed to be the main regulation mechanisms of YthA. Furthermore, the transcription of genes associated with pyrimidine and exopolysaccharide biosynthesis were upregulated. The transcriptional levels of nisIPRKFEG genes were substantially higher in FythA, which directly contributed to the yield and resistance of nisin. Three potential DNA-binding sequences were predicted by computer analysis using the upstream regions of genes with prominent changes. This study showed that YthA could increase acid resistance and nisin yield and revealed a putative regulation mechanism of YthA. IMPORTANCE Nisin, produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, is widely used as a safe food preservative. Acid stress becomes the primary restrictive factor of cell growth and nisin yield. In this research, we found that the transcriptional regulator YthA was conducive to enhancing the acid resistance of L. lactis F44. Overexpressing ythA could significantly improve the survival rate and nisin yield. The stability of intracellular pH and nisin resistance were also increased. Transcriptome analysis showed that nisin immunity and the biosynthesis of some amino acids, pyrimidine, and exopolysaccharides were enhanced in the engineered strain. This study elucidates the regulation mechanism of YthA and provides a novel strategy for constructing robust industrial L. lactis strains.
