The T-box regulatory element is usually a 200-300 nucleotide untranslated RNA leader sequence containing a conserved T box sequence, stem-loop structures and a conditional Rho-independent terminator located upstream of the start codon [11–13]. Two specific interactions between tRNAs and T box leader sequences enable recognition of cognate tRNA species and distinction between charged and uncharged pools of tRNA. The NCCA sequence in the acceptor stem of a nonacylated-tRNA interacts with the UGGN sequence within the T box
sequence (N varies see more according to the identity of the FG-4592 in vitro discriminator base of each tRNA) [13, 14, 18, 19]. This interaction cannot occur when a tRNA is aminoacylated, thereby distinguishing between charged and uncharged tRNAs. Specificity for cognate tRNAs is achieved by the presence of a specifier codon within a bulge in stem I of the leader sequence that interacts with the anticodon sequence of each tRNA. (eg. See Additional file 1, Figure S5). Thus for T box control of AARS expression, a high level of an uncharged tRNA (necessitating increased AARS production) causes interaction between that tRNA and its cognate T box element that stabilizes the anti-termination structure ZD1839 supplier of the leader sequence allowing transcription of the AARS gene to proceed. A high level of aminoacylated-tRNAs in contrast cannot interact with the leader sequence allowing formation of the Rho-independent terminator
and preventing continued transcription of the gene. While most eubacteria encode either a class I or a class II LysRS, all sequenced strains of B. cereus (except strain AH820) and B. thuringiensis encode a copy of both enzyme types [8, 16, 17]. In Bacillus cereus strain 14579, the LysRS2-encoding lysS gene is positioned at the end of an operon encoding genes involved in folate metabolism, its normal position in most Bacilli while the lysK gene encoding the class I-type LysRS1 is located elsewhere on the chromosome. Shaul et al. (2006) show that this LysRS1 is closely related to the class I LysRS1 of Pyrococcus, suggesting that it has been acquired by B. cereus by horizontal transfer [20]. The function of LysRS1 in B. cereus is not clear but it is expressed predominantly in stationary phase and can aminoacylate a novel tRNA species (tRNAOther) in concert with the class II LysRS enzyme [8]. Thus it may play a role in surviving nutritional downshift in B. cereus.
