- W1963558999 abstract "Recently the crystal structure of the DNA-unbound form of the full-length hexameric Bacillus stearothermophilus arginine repressor (ArgR) has been resolved, providing a possible explanation for the mechanism of arginine-mediated repressor-operator DNA recognition. In this study we tested some of these functional predictions by performing site-directed mutagenesis of distinct amino acid residues located in two regions, the N-terminal DNA-binding domain and the C-terminal oligomerization domain of ArgR. A total of 15 mutants were probed for their capacity to repress the expression of the reporter argC-lacZ gene fusion in Escherichia coli cells. Substitutions of highly conserved amino acid residues in the α2 and α3 helices, located in the winged helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif, reduced repression. Loss of DNA-binding capacity was confirmed in vitro for the Ser42Pro mutant which showed the most pronounced effect in vivo. In E. coli, the wild-type B. stearothermophilus ArgR molecule behaves as a super-repressor, since recombinant E. coli host cells bearing B. stearothermophilus argR on a multicopy vector did not grow in selective minimal medium devoid of arginine and grew, albeit weakly, when l-arginine was supplied. All mutants affected in the DNA-binding domain lost this super-repressor behaviour. Replacements of conserved leucine residues at positions 87 and/or 94 in the C-terminal domain by other hydrophobic amino acid residues proved neutral or caused either derepression or stronger super-repression. Substitution of Leu87 by phenylalanine was found to increase the DNA-binding affinity and the protein solubility in the context of a double Leu87Phe/Leu94Val mutant. Structural modifications occasioned by the various amino acid substitutions were confirmed by circular dichroism analysis and structure modelling." @default.
