Bakteriální RNA polymeráza a molekuly ovlivňující její funkci / Bacterial RNA polymerase and molecules affecting its functionJirát Matějčková, Jitka January 2019 (has links)
RNA polymerase (RNAP) transcribes DNA into RNA and is the only transcriptional enzyme in bacteria. This key enzyme responds to external and internal signals from the cell, resolves the intensity of transcription of individual genes and thus regulates gene expression. RNAP is not only affected by its own subunits, but also protein factors, small molecules or small RNAs (sRNAs). The aim of this Thesis was to contribute to the understanding of the regulation of the RNAP and to add missing fragments to this broad topic. The first part of this Thesis is focused on the influence of selected proteins (δ, YdeB, GreA) on the sensitivity of RNAP to the concentration of the initiating nucleoside triphosphate ([iNTP]) during transcription initiation in Bacillus subtilis. We showed that δ affects the sensitivity of RNAP to [iNTP] at [iNTP]-sensitive promoters, but not at [iNTP]-insensitive promoters neither in vitro nor in vivo. The δ subunit is essential for cell survival during competition with other strains, because it enables the cell to react immediately to changing conditions. Further we showed that YdeB protein does not bind to RNAP in B. subtilis, and has not shown any effect on transcription in vitro. We found that both, GreA and YdeB proteins (unlike δ subunit) were unable to affect RNAP by [iNTP] at...

Faktory ovlivňující genovou expresi u Bacillus subtilis / Factors affecting gene expression in Bacillus subtilisSudzinová, Petra January 2021 (has links)
Bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a key enzyme of bacterial transcription. Its activity must be tightly regulated. This could be done on the level of promoter DNA topology recognition, by changing the intracellular levels of metabolites, or by binding proteins, known as transcription factors. Even though the RNAP regulatory network has been intensively studied for decades, new regulators are still being described. The main focus of this Thesis is to characterize some of them: i) HelD, a novel RNAP interacting factor, with so far unknown protein 3D structure; ii) RNase J1, an enzyme with a unique mechanism of functioning; iii) Spx, a major regulator of gene expression in Bacillus subtilis, with still new roles to be defined and iv) the effect of the topological state of promoters on transcription. We identified HelD as an interacting protein of RNAP in Bacillus subtilis and described its biochemical properties. It stimulates transcription in an ATP-dependent manner, by enhancing recycling of RNAP molecules (Publication I). We published the first insight into the HelD structure by SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering) and deepened the understanding of HelD domain composition (Publication III). And finally, we were able to solve the cryo-EM structure of HelD:RNAP complexes from...
