Regulation of the NADP-glutamate dehydrogenase gene in by the Zn(II)2Cys6 transcription factor LeuB Free

Abstract

NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH) is a key enzyme in the assimilation of alternative nitrogen nutrient sources through ammonium in fungi. In , NADP-GDH is encoded by . Several transcription factors are known to regulate expression, including AreA, the major transcription activator of nitrogen metabolic genes, and TamA, a co-activator of AreA. TamA also interacts with LeuB, the regulator of leucine biosynthesis. We have investigated the effects of leucine biosynthesis on regulation, and found that leucine regulates the levels of NADP-GDH activity and expression. We show, using mutants with perturbed levels of α-isopropylmalate (α-IPM), that this leucine biosynthesis intermediate affects regulation. Leucine regulation of requires a functional LeuB with an intact Zn(II)2Cys6 DNA-binding domain. By analysing the prevalence of putative LeuB DNA-binding sites in promoters of orthologues we predict broad conservation of leucine regulation of NADP-GDH expression within ascomycetes except in the fusaria and fission yeasts. Using promoter mutations in reporter genes we identified two sites of action for LeuB within the promoter. These two sites lack sequence identity, with one site conforming to the predicted LeuB DNA-binding site consensus motif, whereas the second site is a novel regulatory sequence element conserved in promoters. These data suggest that LeuB regulates NADP-GDH expression in response to leucine levels, which may act as an important sensor of nitrogen availability.
