In Streptomyces species, the cell cycle involves a switch from an early and vegetative state to a later phase where secondary products including antibiotics are synthesized, aerial hyphae form and sporulation occurs. AdpA, which has two domains, activates the expression of numerous genes involved in the switch from the vegetative growth phase. The adpA mRNA of many Streptomyces species has a UUA codon in a linker region between 5' sequence encoding one domain and 3' sequence encoding its other and C-terminal domain. UUA codons are exceptionally rare in Streptomyces, and its functional cognate tRNA is not present in a fully modified and acylated form, in the early and vegetative phase of the cell cycle though it is aminoacylated later. Here, we report candidate recoding signals that may influence decoding of the linker region UUA. Additionally, a short ORF 5' of the main ORF has been identified with a GUG at, or near, its 5' end and an in-frame UUA near its 3' end. The latter is commonly 5 nucleotides 5' of the main ORF start. Ribosome profiling data show translation of that 5' region. Ten years ago, UUA-mediated translational bypassing was proposed as a sensor by a Streptomyces phage of its host's cell cycle stage and an effector of its lytic/lysogeny switch. We provide the first experimental evidence supportive of this proposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
