项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mechanisms that control transcription elongation and termination are important components of gene expression in all organisms. We developed the B. subtilis trp operon leader as a model system for RNA polymerase (RNAP) pausing and intrinsic termination. We identified two pause sites in the B. subtilis trp leader (U107 and U144),
which participate in transcription attenuation and translation repression mechanisms, respectively, although this has only been established for the translation repression mechanism in vivo. NusA and NusG stimulate pausing at both sites. Although NusA was known to stimulate pausing in E. coli, NusG- stimulated pausing is opposite to the anti-pausing activity identified fo E. coli NusG. NusG (Spt5) is the only universally conserved transcription factor. Since we identified the only examples of NusG/Spt5-stimulated pausing in any organism, we are in a unique position to investigate this novel NusG function. Our results indicate that NusG makes sequence-specific contacts with the non-template DNA strand within the paused transcription bubble. We will identify specific contacts between NusG and nucleic acids in the paused complex. We will also test a structural model of NusG-stimulated pausing by site-directed mutagenesis. Furthermore, we will use genomic approaches to identify NusG-stimulated pause sites throughout the B. subtilis genome to determine the prevalence of this pausing mechanism, which may be conserved in all three domains of life. While RNAP pausing is assumed to function in several attenuation mechanisms, this has never been shown for any attenuation mechanism in vivo. Using our previous U144 pausing studies as a guide, we will generate pause-defective mutants that will allow us to determine if pausing at U107 participates in the attenuation mechanism of the B. subtilis trp operon in vivo. Canonical intrinsic terminators consist of an uninterrupted RNA hairpin followed by a stretch of U residues. It has been known for many years that NusA is capable of stimulating termination at intrinsic terminators ~10-20%. Of particular interest, we found that NusA from B. subtilis and E. coli can greatly increase the termination efficiency at weak non-canonical terminators containing hairpin mismatches and/or poor U tracts (up to 18-fold). Although termination is not strictly dependent on NusA, we refer to this mechanism as NusA-dependent termination to distinguish it from the slight stimulation that occurs at canonical terminators. As hundreds of non-canonical terminators have been predicted in a variety of bacterial species, it appears that the number of terminators is far higher than previously thought. We will examine NusA-dependent termination in both B. subtilis and E. coli to determine if this previously overlooked termination mechanism is conserved in bacteria. Finally, we found that NusA-dependent termination regulates transcriptional readthrough into the nusA coding sequence in vitro. We will further characterize this novel autoregulatory attenuation mechanism that appears to rely on NusA-dependent termination rather than overlapping RNA structures.
PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Insight into transcription elongation mechanisms will be sought through studies of RNAP pausing and transcription termination in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Proper regulation of gene expression is of paramount importance for the function of cells in all organisms. As several human diseases such as cancer arise in part through inappropriate gene expression, while expression of HIV and certain oncogenes are regulated by attenuation, these studies will contribute to improving human health by providing a detailed mechanistic understanding of how transcription elongation is controlled.
描述(由申请人提供):控制转录延伸和终止的机制是所有生物体中基因表达的重要组成部分。我们开发了B。枯草杆菌trp操纵子前导序列作为RNA聚合酶(RNAP)暂停和内在终止的模型系统。我们在B区发现了两个停顿位点。枯草杆菌trp前导序列(U107和U144),
它们分别参与转录减弱和翻译抑制机制,尽管这仅在体内对翻译抑制机制建立。NusA和NusG刺激两个位点的停顿。虽然已知NusA能刺激E.大肠杆菌中,NusG刺激的停顿与大肠杆菌的抗停顿活性相反。coli NusG. NusG(Spt 5)是唯一普遍保守的转录因子。由于我们在任何生物体中发现了NusG/Spt 5刺激暂停的唯一例子,因此我们处于一个独特的位置来研究这种新的NusG功能。我们的研究结果表明,NusG与暂停的转录泡内的非模板DNA链进行序列特异性接触。我们将鉴定NusG与暂停复合物中的核酸之间的特定接触。我们还将通过定点诱变测试NusG刺激的暂停的结构模型。此外,我们将使用基因组方法来确定整个B的NusG刺激暂停网站。枯草杆菌基因组来确定这种暂停机制的普遍性,这可能是保守的所有三个领域的生活。 虽然RNAP暂停被认为在几种衰减机制中起作用,但这从未被证明用于体内的任何衰减机制。使用我们以前的U144暂停研究作为指导,我们将产生暂停缺陷突变体,这将使我们能够确定是否在U107暂停参与衰减机制的B。枯草杆菌色氨酸操纵子。 典型的内在终止子由一个不间断的RNA发夹和一段U残基组成。多年来已知NusA能够刺激内在终止子的终止约10- 20%。特别有趣的是,我们发现NusA来自B。枯草芽孢杆菌和E.大肠杆菌中可以大大提高在含有发夹错配和/或差U区的弱非典型终止子处的终止效率(高达18倍)。虽然终止并不严格依赖于NusA,但我们将这种机制称为NusA依赖性终止,以将其与发生在典型终止子处的轻微刺激区分开来。由于在各种细菌物种中已经预测了数百种非规范终止子,因此终止子的数量似乎远远高于以前的想法。我们将检查B中的NusA依赖性终止。枯草芽孢杆菌和E.以确定这种以前被忽视的终止机制是否在细菌中保守。最后,我们发现,NusA依赖性终止调节转录通读到nusA编码序列在体外。我们将进一步表征这种新的自动调节衰减机制,该机制似乎依赖于NusA依赖性终止,而不是重叠的RNA结构。
公共卫生关系:深入了解转录延长机制将寻求通过研究RNAP暂停和转录终止在枯草芽孢杆菌和大肠杆菌。基因表达的适当调节对于所有生物体中细胞的功能至关重要。由于几种人类疾病如癌症部分是通过不适当的基因表达引起的,而HIV和某些癌基因的表达是通过衰减来调节的,这些研究将通过提供对转录延伸如何控制的详细机制理解来促进改善人类健康。
