    Notes: Spo0F, a member of a superfamily of bacterial response regulatory proteins, is crucial to the regulation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. As there were difficulties in reproducing crystals of wild-type Spo0F, we report here the crystallization and preliminary studies of a mutant, Y13S protein, which gave well diffracting reproducible crystals. The crystals of the mutant obtained by the hanging-drop method belong to the tetragonal space group P41212 (P43212) a = b = 105.1, c = 85.9 Å. Diffraction data were collected at 2.8 Å at the laboratory source and subsequently 2.05. Å data were collected upon flash freezing the crystal at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. This mutant participates in the phosphorelay in a similar manner to the wild-type protein. The presence of divalent cations are essential for wild-type phosphorylation and the present mutant crystal form is obtained in the presence of calcium.

    Notes: The spollG operon of Bacillus subtilis codes for a sporulation-specjfic sigma factor, σ;E, In vivo expression of the spollG promoter is activated shortly after the onset of sporulation and is dependent on kinA, spo0F, spo0B and spo0A genes. The products of these genes have been shown to participate in a phosphorelay reaction in vitro, culminating in phosphorylation of the transcription factor, Spo0A. The effect of Spo0A phosphorylation on in vitro transcription from the spollG promoter was determined. Aliquots from phos-phorelay reactions enhanced spollG promoter activity 10-fold in transcription assays and stimulation of transcription was dependent on Spo0A phosphorylation. Our results provide biochemical evidence that Spo0A and the phosphoreiay form a signal transduction pathway which activates spoil gene expression in development.

    Notes: Bacillus subtilis spo0K mutants are blocked at the first step in sporulation. The spo0K strain was found to contain two mutations: one was linked to the trpS locus, and the other was elsewhere on the chromosome. The mutation linked to trpS was responsible for the sporulation defect (spo-). The unlinked mutation enhanced this sporulation deficiency but had no phenotype on its own. The spo- mutation was located in an operon of five genes highly homologous to the oligopeptide transport (Opp) system of Gram-negative species. Studies with toxic peptide analogues showed that this operon does indeed encode a peptide-transport system. However, unlike the Opp system of Salmonella typhimurium, one of the two ATP-binding proteins, OppF, was not required for peptide transport or for sporulation. The OppA peptide-binding protein, which is periplasmically located in Gram-negative species, has a signal sequence characteristic of lipo-proteins with an amino-terminal lipo-amino acid anchor. Cellular location studies revealed that OppA was associated with the cell during exponential growth, but was released into the medium in stationary phase. A major role of the Opp system in Gram-negative bacteria is the recycling of cell-wall peptides as they are released from the growing peptidoglycan. We postulate that the accumulation of such peptides may play a signaling role in the initiation of sporulation, and that the sporulation defect in opp mutants results from an inability to transport these peptides.

    Notes: The DNA-binding AbrB protein of Bacillus subtilis is an ambiactive transcriptional regulator of genes expressed during the transition state between vegetative growth and the onset of stationary phase and sporulation. Studies on the transcriptional control of AbrB synthesis using abrB-lacZ fusions indicated that the abrB gene was autoregulated. This was consistent with the observation that purified AbrB protein bound specifically to the promoter region of its own gene in DNase I protection experiments. The structural gene mutation abrB4 abolished the autoregulatlon and purified AbrB4 protein did not have the promoter binding properties associated with the wild-type protein. Both AbrB and AbrB4 proteins were shown to be hexamers of 10500 Dalton subunits and subunit exchange occurred between the proteins in vitro. However, the presence of only one or two mutant subunits dramaticaly altered the DNA-binding ability of the multimeric protein. The results support a model in which autoregulation of the abrB gene is an important factor in preventing sporulation-associated genes from being expressed during vegetative growth.

    Notes: Sporulation begins coincidentally with the expression of several stationary-phase-associated gene products during the transition state of a culture from exponential to stationary phase. Mutations in the stage 0 sporulation genes prevent the expression of these gene products in addition to blocking sporulation. Suppressor mutations in the abrB gene, in a spo0 background, restore stationary-phase-associated gene expression but not sporulation. The nature of the abrB gene product was investigated by isolating and sequencing the abrB gene. The abrB gene coded for a 96-amino-acid protein (molecular weight 10773) and contained a helix-turn-helix structure common to DNA binding proteins. Analysis of expression of the abrB gene using lacZ transcription fusions and direct measurement of mRNA content by hybridization showed that the spo0A gene repressed transcription of the abrB gene. Primer extension analysis of abrB gene mRNA revealed two initiation sites. The downstream site was dramatically repressed in spo0A+ strains, while the upstream site appeared not to be regulated by spo0A. Five abrB mutant alleles were cloned and sequenced. One mutation, abrB 4, resided within the structural gene and continued to overexpress abrB messenger RNA from both promoters. A promoter mutation, abrB 15, reduced transcription from the downstream promoter but not the upstream promoter. Thus, the phenotype of abrB mutations results from inactivation of the abrB gene product or by prevention of its overexpression. The results suggest that the abrB gene codes for a regulator which controls several genes whose products are normally produced during the transition phase between active growth and sporulation. The level of this regulator is, in turn, controlled by the spo0A gene. The pleiotropic phenotypes of spo0A mutants result from uncontrolled overexpression of the abrB regulator.

    Notes: The pleiotropic stage 0 sporulation focus spoOE was isolated and sequenced. The spo0E gene was found to code for a protein of 9791 molecular weight. Two Spo0E mutations were identified by sequence analysis and were found to give rise to nonsense codons within the gene. The results indicated that it is the lack of the spo0E gene product that is responsible for the sporulation-defective phenotype. The DNA fragment containing the spo0E locus was inhibitory to sporulation when present on a multicopy plasmid. Since DNA fragments containing only the upstream region of the gene were also inhibitory, this effect was not due to over-production of the spoOE gene product. Coupling the transcription of the spoOE gene to 3-galactosidase in an integrative plasmid vector revealed that active transcription of this gene begins at the end of exponential growth and continues through the early part of sporulation. Studies of the regulation of this gene have allowed the generation of a hypothesis to explain the interactions of those five stage 0 genes involved in the activation of sporulation-specific transcription.
