英文摘要 | Bacterial signal transduction pathways are important for a variety of adaptive responses to environment, such as two-component systems (TCSs). In this paper, we reported the characterization of a transcriptional regulator in Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571, ActR, with an N-terminal receiver domain and one C-terminal OmpR/PhoB-type DNA binding domain. Sequence analysis showed that ActR shared a high similarity with FtcR regulator of Brucella melitensis 16M known to be involved in flagellar regulation. The structural gene of this regulator was largely distributed in Alphaproteobacteria, in particular in Rhizobiales and Rhodobacterales, and was located within clusters of genes related to motility functions. Furthermore, we studied the biological function of ActR in A. caulinodans grown at the free-living state or in association with Sesbania rostrata by constructing actR gene deletion mutant. In the free-living state, the bacterial flagellum and motility ability were entirely deleted, the expression of flagellar genes was downregulated; and the exopolysaccharide production, biofilm formation, and cell flocculation decreased significantly compared with those of the wild-type strain. In the symbiotic state, Delta actR mutant strain showed weakly competitive colonization and nodulation on the host plant. These results illustrated that FtcR-like regulator in A. caulinodans is involved in flagellar biosynthesis and provide bacteria with an effective competitive nodulation for symbiosis. These findings improved our knowledge of FtcR-like transcriptional regulator in A. caulinodans. |
