High pressure represses expression of the malB operon in Escherichia coli

Abstract

The formation of plaques by lambda phage in Escherichia coli was prevented by elevated hydrostatic pressure; phage plaques were not detected at 30 MPa. Furthermore, using promoter fragments derived from the malB operon, we showed that gene expression initiated from both promoters (malK-lamB and malEFG) was repressed by elevated hydrostatic pressure. Our findings suggest that high pressure affects gene expression directed by the malB regulatory interval, and this may cause a decrease in the quantities of lambda receptor protein, LamB.
