Involvement of the multidomain regulatory protein XynR in positive control of xylanase gene expression in the ruminal anaerobe Prevotella bryantii B(1)4.

ABSTRACT: The xylanase gene cluster from the rumen anaerobe Prevotella bryantii B(1)4 was found to include a gene (xynR) that encodes a multidomain regulatory protein and is downstream from the xylanase and beta-xylosidase genes xynA and xynB. Additional genes identified upstream of xynA and xynB include xynD, which encodes an integral membrane protein that has homology with Na:solute symporters; xynE, which is related to the genes encoding acylhydrolases and arylesterases; and xynF, which has homology with the genes encoding alpha-glucuronidases. XynR includes, in a single 833-amino-acid polypeptide, a putative input domain unrelated to other database sequences, a likely transmembrane domain, histidine kinase motifs, response regulator sequences, and a C-terminal AraC-type helix-turn-helix DNA bind
