Transcription Factor-Mediated Gene Regulation in Archaea

Part of the book series: Nucleic Acids and Molecular Biology ((NUCLEIC,volume 32))

Abstract

Adequate gene regulation in response to environmental and/or metabolic changes is crucial for the fitness and survival of microorganisms. Transcription factors are important elements of microbial gene regulation. Intriguingly, although the archaeal basal transcription machinery is more similar to that seen in the eukaryotic domain of life, transcription factor-mediated gene regulation largely follows the bacterial paradigm. This chapter deals with structural and functional characteristics of archaeal transcription factors. Although one-component and two-component systems are both present in the archaeal domain of life, one-component systems dominate. Different aspects of transcription factor functioning are discussed, including mechanisms of DNA binding, regulatory mechanisms and sensing and signal transduction mechanisms. Archaeal transcription factors primarily interact with DNA using a winged helix-turn-helix DNA binding motif. Transcriptional repression is achieved through a variety of promoter occlusion mechanisms like those seen in bacteria. In contrast, activation mechanisms vary from those found in bacteria and involve recruitment of the general transcription factors TATA binding protein and transcription factor B to the promoter. A variety of environmental signals are sensed through ligand binding or redox-sensing. The body of literature covering studies of archaeal transcription regulation has expanded significantly over the past 15 years. However, there is still much to be learned from future studies particularly in the area of signal transduction as well as gene regulatory networks in archaea.
