Impact of rex delation on the transcriptome of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39


ABSTRACT: The objective of this comparison was to identify the impact of rex deletion on the transcriptome of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39. This comparison showed that the transcriptional regulator, Rex acts as a transcriptional repressor of a number of genes/operons (adhB1, fba, hemH, rex, gapN, nirC, pncB, gap, adhE, and adhB2) involved in niacin uptake and biosynthesis in the presence of NADH. In this study, we investigated the transcriptomic response of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 to NADH. Transcriptome comparison of the D39 wild-type grown in chemically-defined medium (CDM) with 0 mg/ml NADH to 0.5 mg/ml NADH revealed elevated expression of various genes/operons (adhB1, fba, hemH, rex, gapN, nirC, pncB, gap, adhE, and adhB2) involved in the transport and biosynthesis of niacin. Microarray results were further confirmed by β-galactosidase assays. Promoter-lacZ fusions assays and microarray studies showed that the transcriptional regulator, Rex acts as a transcriptional repressor of a number of genes/operons (adhB1, fba, hemH, rex, gapN, nirC, pncB, gap, adhE, and adhB2) involved in niacin uptake and biosynthesis in the presence of NADH. The putative operator site of Rex in the promoter regions of Rex-regulated genes is predicted and confirmed by promoter mutational experiments.
