Résumé

ABSTRACT Two-component systems (TCS) and small RNAs (sRNA) are widespread regulators that participate in the response and the adaptation of bacteria to their environments. They mostly act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, respectively, and can be found integrated in regulatory circuits, where TCSs control sRNAs transcription and/or sRNAs post-transcriptionally regulate TCSs synthesis. In response to nitrate and nitrite, the paralogous NarQ-NarP and NarX-NarL TCSs regulate the expression of genes involved in anaerobic respiration of these alternative electron acceptors. In addition to the previously reported repression of NarP synthesis by the SdsN 137 sRNA, we show here that RprA, another Hfq-dependent sRNA, also negatively controls narP . Interestingly, the repression of narP by RprA actually relies on two independent controls. The first is via the direct pairing of the central region of RprA to the narP translation initiation region and presumably occurs at the translation initiation level. In contrast, the second control requires only the very 5’ end of the narP mRNA, which is targeted, most likely indirectly, by the full-length or the shorter, processed, form of RprA. In addition, our results raise the possibility of a direct role of Hfq in narP control, further illustrating the diversity of post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms in the synthesis of TCSs.
