metabolism | in Bacillus subtilis, the enzymes YvmC and CypX are involved in pulcherriminic acid biosynthesis. The cyclodipeptide synthase YvmC utilizes charged leucyl-tRNAs as substrate to catalyze the formation of cyclo-L-leucyl-L-leucyl (cLL). The cytochrome P450 CypX is implicated in the transformation of cLL into pulcherriminic acid. Pulcherriminic acid derived from cyclo-L-leucyl-L-leucyl is excreted and chelates free ferric ions to form the pulcherrimin. Analysis of mechanisms controlling the transcription of the yvmC-cypX operon, overview. The Bacillus subtilis YvmB MarR-like regulator is the major transcription factor controlling yvmC-cypX expression, involvement of YvmB as repressor in the control of yvm-CcypX expression. Expression of yvmB depends on iron availability. Genes yvmBA, yvmC-cypX and yvnB are identified for negative regulation and yisI for positive regulation. A 14-bp palindromic motif constitutes the YvmB binding site. YvmB might not control expression of yisI, whose encoding protein plays a negative role in the regulation of the sporulation initiation pathway. YvmB appears as an additional regulatory element into the cell's decision to grow or sporulate | Bacillus subtilis |
