Genetic and biochemical characterization by random and site-directed mutagenesis, repressors involved in stress response phenolic acids in Bacillus s…

The aim of this work was to characterize the genetic and biochemical mechanisms involved in the PASR, the phenolic acid stress response induced by phenolic acids Bacillus subtilis. By genetics and molecular biology strategies, like reverse genetic, PCR or transposon random mutagenesis, gene deletion, complementation of strains, and gene expression, the main components of the PASR were identified and quantified. Site-directed and random mutagenesis of respectively the promoter of padC encoding the phenolic acid decaroxylase, and PadR, the repressor of the padC expression, allowed us to identify the site of binding of PadR with this promoter, as well as the amino-acid residues involved in the…
