The gene transcription of guanyl-specific ribonucleases (RNases), which provide available phosphate to cells of Bacillus, is controlled by the signal transduction system PhoP-PhoR. However, the biosynthesis of B. circulans RNase does not depend on the signal-transduction regulatory proteins of Pho regulon. It has been found that raising the salt molar concentration in culture medium increases the level of extracellular guanyl-specific ribonuclease Bci synthesized by B. circulans. Sequences homologous to the binding sites of the regulatory protein DegU were found in RNase Bci promoter. The functioning of the DegS-DegU signal transduction system is stimulated by a high salt concentration. Using a strain of B. subtilis that is defective in the DegU regulatory protein, we have shown that the DegS-DegU system participates in the regulation of RNase Bci expression under salt stress.

Article Synopsis
- A specific pathogen (f. sp. ()) is responsible for vascular wilt disease in tomatoes and releases various effector proteins during infection to enhance its pathogenicity.
- Researchers conducted RNA sequencing of infected tomatoes to identify new effector genes, discovering 27 novel candidates that were upregulated during infection.
- Among these candidates, some were found to induce or suppress cell death in plant leaves, and they contain signal peptides for protein secretion, which is crucial for their virulence functions.

(1)H NMR complexation-induced changes in chemical shift (CIS) of HN protons have been used to characterize the complexes of barnase with the deoxyoligonucleotides d(GC) and d(CGAC). Quantitative shift changes are used not only to locate the most probable binding site (using ring-current shifts), but also to determine the orientation of the ligand within the binding site, based on a more complete shift calculation including bond magnetic anisotropies and electric field effects. For both ligands, the guanine is in the same binding site cleft, in the same position as identified in the crystal structure of the d(CGAC) complex.

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.
