InBacillus subtilis, an RNA binding protein called TRAP regulates both transcription and translation of the tryptophan biosynthetic genes.Bacillus haloduransis an alkaliphilicBacillusspecies that grows at high pHs. Previous studies of this bacterium have focused on mechanisms of adaptation for growth in alkaline environments. We have characterized the regulation of the tryptophan biosynthetic genes inB. haloduransand compared it to that inB. subtilis. B. haloduransencodes a TRAP protein with 71% sequence identity to theB. subtilisprotein. Expression of anthranilate synthetase, the first enzyme in the pathway to tryptophan, is regulated significantly less inB. haloduransthan inB. subtilis. Examination of the control of theB. halodurans trpEDCFBAoperon both in vivo and in vitro shows that only transcription is regulated, whereas inB. subtilisboth transcription of the operon and translation oftrpEare controlled. The attenuation mechanism that controls transcription inB. haloduransis similar to that inB. subtilis, but there are some differences in the predicted RNA secondary structures in theB. halodurans trpleader region, including the presence of a potential anti-antiterminator structure. Translation oftrpG, which is within the folate operon in both bacilli, is regulated similarly in the two species.
