These two proteins have similar amino acid sequences in their DNA binding domains and bind to DNA sites (GlnR/TnrA sites) that have the same consensus sequence. Expression of the <jats:italic>tnrA</jats:italic> gene was found to be activated by TnrA and repressed by GlnR. Mutational analysis demonstrated that a GlnR/TnrA site which lies immediately upstream of the −35 region of the <jats:italic>tnrA</jats:italic> promoter is required for regulation of <jats:italic>tnrA</jats:italic> expression by both GlnR and TnrA. Expression of the <jats:italic>glnRA</jats:italic> operon, which contains two GlnR/TnrA binding sites ( <jats:italic>glnRAo1</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>glnRAo2</jats:italic> ) in its promoter region, is repressed by both GlnR and TnrA. The <jats:italic>glnRAo2</jats:italic> site, which overlaps the −35 region of the <jats:italic>glnRA</jats:italic> promoter, was shown to be required for regulation by both GlnR and TnrA, while the <jats:italic>glnRAo1</jats:italic> site which lies upstream of the −35 promoter region is only involved in GlnR-mediated regulation. Examination of TnrA binding to <jats:italic>tnrA</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>glnRA</jats:italic> promoter DNA in gel mobility shift experiments showed that TnrA bound with an equilibrium dissociation binding constant of 55 nM to the GlnR/TnrA site in the <jats:italic>tnrA</jats:italic> promoter region, while the affinities of TnrA for the two GlnR/TnrA sites in the <jats:italic>glnRA</jats:italic> promoter region were greater than 3 μM. These results demonstrate that GlnR and TnrA cross-regulate each other's expression and that there are differences in their DNA-binding specificities. </jats:p> Cross-Regulation of the <i>Bacillus subtilis glnRA</i> and <i>tnrA</i> Genes Provides Evidence for DNA Binding Site Discrimination by GlnR and TnrA Journal of Bacteriology
