Mutations at the aecA locus of Bacillus subtilis lead to derepression of the lysC operon, which encodes aspartokinase II, and analysis of three independent aecA mutations has shown them to be nucleotide substitutions in the lysC leader region (Y. Lu, N.Y. Chen and H. Paulus (1991) J. Gen. Microbiol. 137, 1135-1141). DNA sequence analysis of the lysC control region of nine other mutants with derepressed levels of aspartokinase II revealed each of the mutations to be associated with changes in one or a few nucleotide residues. The nucleotide substitutions were clustered at two sites in the lysC leader: in a region of imperfect dyad symmetry about 40 base pairs from the transcription start site, and in the open reading frame for a putative leader peptide, which starts about 40 residues further downstream. The effect of nucleotide substitutions at the two sites differed in that those at the upstream site gave twice the degree of derepression. A mutant with a small deletion in the leader peptide coding region potentially affecting RNA secondary structure also had a higher level of lysC derepression. These results suggest that the lysC leader region contains at least two cis-acting control sites that play important and perhaps independent roles in the repression of the lysC operon by lysine.
