Abstract

In this study, chromosomal DNA fragment related to the regulation of phenol metabolism in Ralstonia eutropha JMP 134 was cloned and sequenced. The result has shown that two open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2) exist on this regulatory region. ORF1, which initiates from 454 bp downstream of the stop codon of the phenol hydroxylase genes, was found to be composed of 501 amino acids. ORF2, whose start codon is overlapped with the stop codon of ORFl, was found to contain 232 amino acids. The comparison of amino acid sequences with other proteins has revealed that ORF1 belongs to the family of NtrC transcriptional activator, whereas ORF2 shares high homology with the family of GntR protein, which is known to be a negative regulator. ORF1 and ORF2 were designated as a putative positive regulator, phlR2 and a negative regulator phlA, respectively. Possible regulatory mechanisms of phenol metabolism in this strain was discussed.

Ralstonia eutropha JMP134로부터 페놀대사의 조절에 관여하는 유전자부위를 cloning하여 염기서열을 파악하였으며 그 특성을 조사하였다. 염기서열 분석 결과 두 개의 open reading frame (ORF1 & ORF2)들을 발견하였다. ORF1은 페놀분해 구조유전자중의 마지막 인자인phlX의 stop codon으로부터 454 bp 아래에서 시작하여 총 501 개의 아미노산으로 구성되었으며 ORF2는 ORF1의 stop codon으로부터 1 bP 위쪽에서 4개의 염기쌍과 중첩된 상태에서 시작하여 총 232개의 아미노산으로 구성되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 단백질 배열을 분석해본 결과 ORF1은 transcriptional activator로 작용하는 NtrC family에 속하는 것으로 확인되었으며, ORF2는 negative regulator로 알려진 GntR family에 속하는 것으로 나타났다. ORF1과 ORF2를 encoding하는 유전자를 각각 phlR2 와 phlA로 명명하였으며 이들의 가능한 조절기작을 고찰하였다.
