摘　　要：在革兰氏阴性菌中,全局性调控因子QscR参与菌群传感调节系统,调节多种毒素因子、次生代谢产物、稳定期基因以及参与生物膜形成的基因的表达,它通过与靶基因DNA启动子的调节元件结合,调节基因转录。假单胞菌株(Pseudomonas sp.)M-18是促进植物生长的根际细菌,能同时分泌藤黄绿菌素(pyoluterion,Plt)和吩嗪-1-羧酸(phenazine-1-carboxylicacid,PCA)。运用同源重组技术,构建了假单胞菌(Pseudomonas sp.)M-18株的qscR突变菌株M-18Q。比较野生株M-18和突变株M-18Q生物合成PCA和Plt的产量,在28℃恒温条件下,在PPM和KMB培养基中M-18Q菌株合成PCA的量分别约为野生型M-18菌株的4～6倍和3～5倍,分别达到480μg/mL和140μg/mL。在PPM培养基中,野生株M-18和突变株M-18Q几乎都没有Plt的合成,而在KMB培养基中,突变菌株和野生型M-18合成Plt的量基本一致。反式互补实验表明,在qscR突变株M-18Q中,PCA生物合成受到抑制而Plt的生物合成却不受影响。phzA基因是吩嗪合成基因簇中第一个基因,phzA‘-’lacZ翻译融合实验表明,qscR基因产物通过抑制PCA合成基因簇的表达,实施负调控作用。结果表明qscR基因是作为一个全局调控基因区别性地调控PCA和Plt的生物合成。In Gram-negative bacteria, global regulator QscR controls the expression of many virulence determinants, secondary metabolites, stationary phase genes and genes involved in biofllm formation through quorum sensing （QS） systems. QscR binds the promoter region of target genes and regulates the gene expression at the transcriptional level. Using homologous recombination technique a chromosomal qscR inactivated mutant strain M-18Q was constructed in Pseudomonas sp. M-18, a strain of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria, which could inhibit several soilborn phytopathogens by producing secondary metabolites including phenazine-1-carboxylic acid（PCA）and pyoluteorin （Plt） in one single strain. To further study the effect of QscR on the synthesis of Pit and PCA in the wild type strain M-18, the dynamic curves of Pit and PCA produced respectively by M-18 and M-18Q strains were measured in both KMB and PPM mediums . The synthesis of PCA was much more activated in the mutant than in the wild type both in KMB and PPM mediums. The PCA production in the mutant strain is four-to-six fold over that in the wild type in the PPM medium, reaching 480μg/mL, and three-to-five fold in the KMB medium, reaching 140μg/mL. The synthesis of Pit, however, was not detected in PPM medium and was nearly not influenced by the QscR protein in KMB medium. PCA production was inhibited but Pit biosynthesis was not altered after complementation with qscR gene in trans in the strain of M-18Q. The regulation of qscR gene on PCA production was further confirmed by the analysis of β-galactosidase activities from the translational phzA ‘- ＇ lacZ fusion, in which phzA is the first enzyme gene of the phenazine biosynthesis pathway. These results indicate that QscR can control PCA production negatively but not Pit production in M-18, and show that QscR functions as a global regulator to differently regulate the synthesis of PCA and Pit on the gene expression level.
