Abstract

The rapid and appropriate response of Pseudomonas spp. to environmental fluctuations has been enabled by numerous signal transduction regulatory systems. Regulatory systems in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are organized in a complex network which provides quick and fine-tuned cellular response through regulation of virulence and antibiotic resistance determinants production. Mobile integrons represent genetic elements included in the rapid dissemination of multiple antibiotic resistance determinants. The key factor of integron dynamics is enzyme integrase. So far, global regulators LexA, RpoS and PsrA have been recognized as regulators of the intI1 transcription. In this study, we discovered novel activator of the intI1 transcription, sensor kinase RclS, in Pseudomonas putida WCS358. This regulation is limited to stationary growth phase and appears to be indirect, at least through regulation of the rpoS expression. Sensor kinase RclS is a part of novel three-component system Rcl (Roc-like) together with two response regulators, RclR and RclA. RclS acted as a negative regulator of the rclA transcription, while the role in the rclR transcription regulation could not be defined. The RclSAR regulatory system seems to be a part of complex intI1 regulatory network which includes major stress response (SOS and RpoS) regulons.
