Abstract
Secretion of the Escherichia coli toxin colicin V was previously determined to be iron regulated via the Fur (ferric uptake regulator) protein, based on studies in fur mutants. The iron dependence of transcription and expression of cvaA, which encodes a transporter accessory protein, and cvi, encoding the colicin V immunity protein, was assessed under conditions of iron excess or depletion. Immunoblots showed that production of both Cvi and CvaA is iron dependent. The iron-dependent transcriptional start for cvaA identified by primer extension and S1 nuclease analysis, P1, lies 320 bp upstream of the translational start and is associated with a newly identified Fur binding site. Beta-galactosidase activity in transcriptional lacZ fusions with the P1 promoter alone is higher than with downstream sequences present and is induced 10-fold by iron depletion. Including immediate downstream regions with P1 enhances activity from P1 even more but reduces the induction by iron depletion fivefold. Including subsequent downstream sequences, however, down-modulates overall transcription from P1 almost fourfold. Deletion of a long stem-loop structure in this region alleviates the down-modulation by increasing transcription, indicating that ...Continue Reading
