RESUMO
Transcription of the virG gene initiates from two tandem promoters, designated P1 and P2, that are located 50 nucleotides apart. Transcription of the P2 promoter is induced by extracellular acidity. cis-acting sites required for P2 activity were identified by constructing and assaying a series of 5' and 3' resections and site-directed nucleotide substitutions. Nucleotides between positions -9 and -37 were sufficient for regulated promoter activity. Within this region, nucleotide substitutions at the predicted -10 and -35 regions strongly reduced P2 expression. In addition, alterations in the region between nucleotides -24 and -32 also eliminated or strongly reduced promoter activity. These data suggest that this promoter may be regulated by a positive transcription factor that binds to nucleotide residues in this interval.
