Promoters of the genes for guanyl-specific ribonucleases, secreted by B. intermedius (binase) and B. pumilus (Rnase Bp) in phosphate deficient conditions, contain regions similar to appropriate consensus sequences in promoters of the PHO regulated genes of B. subtilis. A number of genes expressed in response to phosphate starvation in B. subtilis are regulated by the two component signal transduction system PhoP-PhoR. Expression of recombinant genes for binase and RNase Bp in B. subtilis strains with mutations in the regulatory protein genes of the PHO regulon was studied. Their expression is strongly regulated by the regulatory proteins of the B. subtilis PHO regulon.

The role of the ResD-ResE two-component signal transduction system in regulation of the bacilli guanyl-specific ribonucleases genes expression was studied. The proteins with the homology to the Bacillus subtilis ResD and ResE regulatory proteins were found in all sequenced genomes of the Bacillus. Using the B.

The level of expression of ribonuclease genes has been shown to increase approximately sixfold in recombinant strains with mutation in the spo0A gene and threefold in the spo0A/abrB mutants, as compared with native strains. These results demonstrate that the Spo0A protein regulates the production of ribonucleases and thus acts as a repressor, while the AbrB protein is an activator of expression of the genes encoding ribonucleases from Bacillus intermedius and Bacillus pumilus in Bacillus subtilis cells.

The gene for extracellular guanyl-specific ribonuclease of Bacillus thuringiensis var. subtoxicus (RNase Bth), a close homologue of the B. intermedius RNase (binase), was completely sequenced.
