ABSTRACT
PhoB is a response regulator protein that plays a key role in the PhoBR two-component signal transduction system. In this study, we used transcriptome and proteomics techniques to evaluate the detect the gene network regulated by PhoB of Streptococcus agalactiae. The results showed that expression of biofilm formation and virulence-related genes were changed after phoB deficiency. Crystal violet and CLSM assay confirmed that the deletion of the phoB increased the thickness of S. agalactiae biofilm. The results of lacZ reporter and the bacterial one-hybridization method showed that PhoB could directly bind to the promoter regions of hemolysin A and ciaR genes but not to the promoter regions of cylE and hemolysin III. Through the construction of an 18-base pair deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) random fragment library and the bacterial one-hybridization system, it was found that the conservative sequence of PhoB binding was TTGGAGAA(G/T). Our research has uncovered the virulence potential of the PhoBR two-component system of S. agalactiae. The findings of this study provide the theoretical foundation for in-depth research on the pathogenic mechanism of S. agalactiae.
