- Title
RhgKL and CcpA directly regulate the rhiLFGN-rhgR-yesTUV operon involved in the metabolism of rhamnogalacturonan type I in Bacillus subtilis.

- Abstract
The Bacillus subtilis rhiLFGN-rhgR-yesTUVWXYZ (formerly yesOPQRSTUVWXYZ) gene cluster includes genes for metabolizing rhamnogalacturonan type I (RG-I), a major pectin constituent, and the rhgR gene encoding an AraC/XylS transcriptional activator. The yesL - rhgKL (formerly yesLMN) operon, adjacent to the rhiL gene, includes the rhgKL genes encoding a two-component regulatory system. The reporter analyses showed that 3 promoters immediately upstream of the rhiL, yesW, and yesL genes were induced by RG-I and repressed by glucose in the medium. The reporter analyses also showed that RhgL and RhgR contribute to the RG-I-dependent induction of the rhiL promoter and that CcpA mediates the catabolite repression of the rhiL and yesL promoters. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that the RhgL response regulator and the CcpA complex bind to each site in the rhiL promoter region. The RT-PCR analysis and the different properties of the rhiL and yesW promoters suggested the rhiLFGN-rhgR-yesTUV genes as an operon.
