Abstract

The human pathogen has a classic heat shock response, showing induction of chaperones and proteases plus several unidentified proteins in response to a small increase in growth temperature. The genome contains two homologues to known heat shock response regulators, HrcA and HspR. Previous work has shown that HspR controls several heat-shock genes, but the regulon has not been defined. We have constructed single and double deletions of and and analysed gene expression using microarrays. Only a small number of genes are controlled by these two regulators, and the two regulons overlap. Strains mutated in , but not those mutated in , showed enhanced thermotolerance. Some genes previously identified as being downregulated in a strain lacking showed no change in expression in our experiments.
