In the present study, we characterized the genetic and phenotypic alterations of the bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) under different treatments with several epigenetic modulating chemicals. The use of DNA demethylating chemicals unambiguously caused a durable decrease in Xcc bacterial virulence, even after its reisolation from Citation: Baránek, M.; Kováˇcová,V.; infected plants.

Busby: [email protected] https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2019.04.011 Edited by Xiaodong Zhang Abstract Transcription in most bacteria is tightly regulated in order to facilitate bacterial adaptation to different environments, and transcription factors play a key role in this. Here we give a brief overview of the essential features of bacterial transcription factors and how they affect transcript initiation at target promoters. We focus on complex promoters that are regulated by combinations of activators and repressors, combinations of repressors only, or combinations of activators. At some promoters, transcript initiation is regulated by nucleoid-associated proteins, which often work together with transcription factors. We argue that the distinction between nucleoid-associated proteins and transcription factors is blurred and that they likely share common origins. © 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The late viral mRNAs are capped and polyadenylated, and we have previously shown that capping is mediated by the LEF-4 subunit of baculovirus RNA polymerase. Here we report studies undertaken to determine the mecha- Downloaded from nism of 3-end formation. A globin cleavage/polyadenylation signal, which was previously shown to direct 3-end formation of viral RNAs in vivo, was cloned into a baculovirus transcription template. In vitro assays with purified baculovirus RNA polymerase revealed that 3 ends were formed not by a cleavage mechanism but rather by termination after transcription of a T-rich region of the globin sequence. Terminated RNAs were released from ternary complexes and were subsequently polyadenylated. Mutational analyses indicated that the T-rich sequence was essential for termination and polyadenylation, but the poly(A) signal and the GT-rich region of the globin polyadenylation/cleavage signal were not required. Termination was not dependent on ATP hydrolysis, indicating a slippage mechanism. http://jvi.asm.org/ mRNA 3Ј-end formation is a complicated process that re- promoters used for overexpression in baculovirus vectors be- quires protein-nucleic acid and protein-protein interactions. -
