Serratia marcescens2170 produces three different types of chitinases and chitin-binding protein CBP21. We found that transposon insertion into the 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) ofchiPQ-ctbled to defective chitinase and CBP21 production. ChiX small RNA possessed the complementary sequence of the 5′ UTRs of thechiPQ-ctbandchiRand repressed the expression ofchiPandchiR. ChiX was detected in a medium containing glucose, glycerol, GlcNAc, and (GlcNAc)2, but the expression of bothchiPandchiRwas only observed in a medium containing (GlcNAc)2. ∆chiXmutant produced chitinases, CBP21, and chitobiase without induction.chiPtranscripts were more abundant than those ofchiRorchiXin a medium containing (GlcNAc)2. These results suggest that the constitutively expressed ChiX binds to the highly abundantchiP5′ UTR, thereby leading to the induction ofchiRmRNA translation and the subsequent expression of chitinases and CBP21.
