The Hns Gene of Escherichia Coli Is Transcriptionally Down-Regulated by (P)Ppgpp
microorganisms Article The hns Gene of Escherichia coli Is Transcriptionally Down-Regulated by (p)ppGpp Anna Brandi, Mara Giangrossi, Attilio Fabbretti and Maurizio Falconi * School of Biosciences and Veterinary Medicine, University of Camerino, 62032 Camerino, Italy; [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (M.G.); [email protected] (A.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0737-403274 Received: 25 August 2020; Accepted: 8 October 2020; Published: 10 October 2020 Abstract: Second messenger nucleotides, such as guanosine penta- or tetra-phosphate, commonly referred to as (p)ppGpp, are powerful signaling molecules, used by all bacteria to fine-tune cellular metabolism in response to nutrient availability. Indeed, under nutritional starvation, accumulation of (p)ppGpp reduces cell growth, inhibits stable RNAs synthesis, and selectively up- or down- regulates the expression of a large number of genes. Here, we show that the E. coli hns promoter responds to intracellular level of (p)ppGpp. hns encodes the DNA binding protein H-NS, one of the major components of bacterial nucleoid. Currently, H-NS is viewed as a global regulator of transcription in an environment-dependent mode. Combining results from relA (ppGpp synthetase) and spoT (ppGpp synthetase/hydrolase) null mutants with those from an inducible plasmid encoded RelA system, we have found that hns expression is inversely correlated with the intracellular concentration of (p)ppGpp, particularly in exponential phase of growth. Furthermore, we have reproduced in an in vitro system the observed in vivo (p)ppGpp-mediated transcriptional repression of hns promoter. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays clearly demonstrated that this unusual nucleotide negatively affects the stability of RNA polymerase-hns promoter complex. -
