It has been shown previously that expression of the Streptomyces lividans clpP1P2 operon, encoding proteolytic subunits of the Clp complex, the clpC1 gene, encoding the ATPase subunit, and the lon gene, encoding another ATP-dependent protease, are all activated by ClgR. The ClgR regulon also includes the clgR gene itself. It is shown here that the degradation of ClgR and Lon is ClpP1/P2-dependent and that the two C-terminal alanines of these new substrates are involved in their stability. The ClpC1 protein, which does not end with two alanines, is also accumulated in a clpP1P2 mutant. The results presented here support the idea that ClpP1/P2 ensure post-translational control of ClgR regulon members, including ClgR itself.

Overlapping SigH and SigE sigma factor regulons in .

The sigma H (σ) and sigma E (σ) subunits of RNA polymerase belong to Group 4 of sigma factors, also called extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors. Genes of the σ regulon that are involved in heat and oxidative stress response have already been defined, whereas the genes of the σ regulon, which is involved in cell surface stress response, have not been explored until now. Using the RES167 strain and its derivative Δ with a deletion in the anti-σ gene, differential gene expression was analyzed by RNA sequencing.

A detailed understanding of how enters into and exits out of dormancy, is necessary in order to develop new strategies for tackling tuberculosis. Omics methodologies are unsupervised and unbiased to any hypothesis, making them useful tools for the discovery of new drug targets.

Mycobacteria exhibit two DNA damage response pathways: the LexA/RecA-dependent SOS response and a LexA/RecA-independent pathway. Using a combination of transcriptomics and genome-wide binding site analysis, we demonstrate that PafBC (proteasome accessory factor B and C), encoded in the Pup-proteasome system (PPS) gene locus, is the transcriptional regulator of the predominant LexA/RecA-independent pathway. Comparison of the resulting PafBC regulon with the DNA damage response of Mycobacterium smegmatis reveals that the majority of induced DNA repair genes are upregulated by PafBC.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can persist for years in the hostile environment of the host in a non-replicating or slowly replicating state. While active disease predominantly results from reactivation of a latent infection, the molecular mechanisms of M. tuberculosis reactivation are still poorly understood.
