Expression of the gap gene encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is developmentally regulated, and induced by glucose in Streptomyces aureofaciens. A gene, gapR, encoding a protein similar to the AraC/XylS family of bacterial transcriptional regulators was identified upstream of gap. The gapR gene was constitutively expressed from a single promoter during the course of differentiation. By integrative transformation, via double crossover, a stable null mutant of the gapR gene was obtained. The mutation only slightly affected growth, and had no effect on differentiation of S. aureofaciens. However, transcription of the GAPDH-encoding gap gene was substantially reduced in the S. aureofaciens DeltagapR null mutant, irrespective of carbon source used. Though GAPDH activity was about 1.5-fold lower in the mutant, the substantial enzyme activity remained, suggesting the presence of a second GAPDH which is sufficient to ensure growth. The GapR protein, overproduced in Escherichia coli, was shown to bind upstream of the gap-P promoter region. The results indicate a direct role of GapR in regulation of gap expression in S. aureofaciens.
