Prediction of Gene Function in Methylthioadenosine Recycling from Regulatory Signals

Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210

Received 29 August 2001/ Accepted 22 January 2002

The S-box transcription termination control system, first identified in Bacillus subtilis, is used for regulation of gene expression in response to methionine availability. The presence of the S-box motif provided the first indication that the ykrTS and ykrWXYZ genes could play a role in recycling of 5'-methylthioadenosine, a by-product of polyamine biosynthesis that can be converted to methionine. In this study we demonstrate a role for the ykrTS and ykrWXYZ gene products in this pathway.
