1 SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION BACTERIA SENSE CHANGE IN ENVIRONMENT AND RESPOND TO IT TWO COMPONENT SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION SYSTEM PHOSPHO-RELAY SYSTEM SENSOR KINASE DETECTS CHANGE IN ENVIRONMENT (e.g., FOOD) TRANSMITS SIGNAL TO RESPONSE REGULATOR BY PHOSPHORYLATING IT KINASES TRANSFER PHOSPHORYL GROUPS (KINASES CAN PHOSPHORYLATE THEMSELVES) RESPONSE REGULATOR PHOSPHORYLATED PROTEIN CONTROLS TRANSCRIPTION / OR PROCESS

2 GLOBAL REGULATORY SYSTEMS REGULONS - MANY GENES AND OPERONS CONTROLLED SIMULTANEOUSLY ALLOW CELLS TO RESPOND TO CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS BY TURNING ON SETS OF GENES NOT NEEDED FOR DAILY LIVING EXAMPLES: FOOD - CHEMOTAXIS HEAT SHOCK DAMAGE TO CHROMOSOME FOOD DEPRIVATION

3 CATABOLITE REPRESSION REGULON - OPERONS INVOLVED IN SUGAR CATABOLISM REQUIRE cAMP-CAP FOR TRANSCRIPTION INITIATION. GLUCOSE ALSO PRESENT IN THE MEDIUM MEANS THAT THOSE OPERONS CANNOT BE TURNED ON. LACTOSE, ARABINOSE, GALACTOSE, RIBOSE OPERONS ARE PART OF CATABOLITE REPRESSION REGULON LACTOSE -> GALACTOSE AND GLUCOSE L-ARABINOSE -> D-XYLULOSE-5-PO4 GALACTOSE -> GLUCOSE-1-PO4 RIBOSE -> D-XYLULOSE-5-PO4 GLUCOSE INHIBITS cAMP SYNTHESIS, PREVENTS ANY OF THOSE OPERONS TO BE TURNED ON. WHY? GLUCOSE IS MORE EFFICIENT CARBON SOURCE

4 SOS REGULON – SET OF ~50 GENES WHICH CODE FOR PRODUCTS WHICH REPAIR DNA DAMAGE AND HELP SURVIVAL AFTER DNA DAMAGE COMMON SOS REPRESSOR, COMMON SOS OPERATORS BEFORE THE SOS GENES ENZYMES TO REMOVE DAMAGED NUCLEOTIDES AND AND FILL IN NORMAL NUCLEOTIDES - NO MUTATIONS ENZYMES POLYMERIZE PAST DAMAGED NUCLEOTIDES BUT INSERT RANDOM NUCLEOTIDES - MANY MUTATIONS ENZYMES TO RECOMBINE BROKEN CHROMOSOMES GENERATES ONE INTACT CHROMOSOME PROTEIN TO DELAY CELL DIVISION – PROVIDES TIME TO COMPLETE DNA REPAIR

(A) About 50 genes around the E. coli chromosome are normally repressed by the binding of a LexA dimer (barbell structure) to their operators. Some SOS genes are expressed at low levels, as indicated by single arrows. (B) After DNA damage, the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) that accumulates in the cell binds to RecA (circled A), forming a RecA nucleoprotein filament, which binds to LexA, causing LexA to cleave itself. The cleaved repressor can no longer bind to the operators of the genes, and the genes are induced as indicated by two arrows. The approximate positions of some of the genes of the SOS regulon are shown.
