Abstract
In enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella species, flagellar biogenesis is strictly dependent upon the master regulator flhDC. Here, we demonstrate that in enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), the flagellar regulon is controlled by ClpXP, a member of the ATP-dependent protease family, through two pathways: (i) post-translational control of the FlhD/FlhC master regulator and (ii) transcriptional control of the flhDC operon. Both FlhD and FlhC proteins accumulated markedly following ClpXP depletion, and their half-lives were significantly longer in the mutant cells, suggesting that ClpXP is responsible for degrading FlhD and FlhC proteins, leading to downregulation of flagellar expression. ClpXP was involved in regulating the transcription of the flhD promoter only when the cells had entered stationary phase in a culture medium that markedly induced expression of the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). Comparative analyses of transcription from the flhD promoter in EHEC cells with different genetic backgrounds suggested that the downregulation of flhDC expression by ClpXP is dependent on the LEE-encoded GrlR-GrlA system. We have also shown that the degradation of FlhD and FlhC by ClpXP is responsible for downregulating flagellar expression even when LEE expression is induced.
