Name: | flhDC |
Synonym(s): | OP00183 |
Gene(s): | flhC, flhD Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS |
Note(s): | The transcription of the flhDC operon is repressed in acidic phospholipid-deficient cells, but the gadW, metE, and yeaB genes in multicopy suppress this repression through the reduction of overexpression of RpoS caused by the same mutation in the gene producing acidic phospholipid 20185506 The mechanism for this is not known. Under motility-inducing environmental growth conditions, a motile element (IS5) is inserted into the upstream region of the flhDC operon. This event appears to enhance the expression of the operon, because motility and biofilm formation are increased 21390082CITS: [28100305]|. IS5 insertion disrupts the H-NS binding site, thus preventing transcriptional repression of the operon 21390082 Three novel cis-acting IS elements upstream of flhDC (IS5, located at -166 and -315, IS1, inserted at -303, and a trans-acting missense mutation in lrhA) were found that enhanced motility by relieving transcriptional repression of flhDC 23456724 Both effects act in parallel, suggesting their apparently independent regulation of flagellar expression 23456724 Several insertion sequence (IS) elements upstream of the promoter for flhDC stimulate motility independently of orientation and have a long-range effect 26170415 fllhDC expression is enhanced by AtoSC in the presence of acetoacetate 22083893. Under NlpE outer membrane lipoprotein overexpression, the transcription of the flhC gene is decreased Raivio TL,2013 In a study where it was shown that the L-tryptophan eradicated persister cells, it was observed that the exogenous amino acid downregulated the expression of flhDC as well as other flagellar genes 31271063. Based on mutations analysis, it was shown that OmpR and RcsB abolish temporal and spatial changes in expression of flhDC 23914787 Single nucleotide changes in the -10 element and the spacer of the flhDC promoter, and also in the cAMP-CRP-binding region, increase motility 26170415 Several mutations in the flhDC promoter allow motility in H-NS mutant strains 26170415 YjjQ represses transcription of the flhDC operon independently from the previously characterized RcsA-RcsB repressor, even though the two DNA-binding motifs contain overlapping sequences Wiebe H,2015 flhDC requires a specific transcription rate to maintain optimal flagellum numbers 30420601 The impact of a two-component signal transduction system (2CSTS) was reviewed with regard to EnvZ/OmpT, RscCDB, CheAYB, and QueCB. Studies of the effects of changes in signaling on the expression of motility and biofilm genes revealed the involvement of the flhDC operon in the induction of changes in motility in the early phases of biofilm development and the swim-or-stick switch that allows bacteria to transit from reversible to irreversible attachment 28533218. Orthologous flhDC from E. coli can functionally complement flhDC in S. Enterica, and flhCEC is not functionally identical to flhCST 30420601 The phenotypic differences between species arise from adaptations during evolution to expand or modify cellular function with respect to movement within specific environmental niches 30420601 The mRNA that contains the flhD gene has been observed mainly in the poles of the cell 31540875. |

Note(s): | This promoter was identified by microarray assays with a mutant σ54 strain and a σ54-overexpressing strain, and by σ54-related promoter element identification Zhao K,2010 We assigned a putative transcription start site to this promoter based on the observation that the majority of the σ54-dependent promoters, whose transcription start sites were determined experimentally, present a distance of 11 nucleotides between the transcription start site and the -12 box Barrios H,1999. |
