The adjacent sacX and sacY genes are involved in sucrose induction of the Bacillus subtilis sacB gene by an antitermination mechanism. sacB, encoding the exoenzyme levansucrase, is also subject to regulation by the DegS-DegU signalling system. Using sacXY'-lacZ and sacX'-lacZ fusions, we show that the transcription of the sacX and sacY genes is both inducible by sucrose and regulated by DegU. sacX and sacY appear to constitute an operon, since the deletion of the sacX leader region abolished the expression of a sacXY'-lacZ fusion. The degU-dependent promoter was located by deletion analysis and reverse transcriptase mapping 300 nucleotides upstream from the sacX initiator codon. Sucrose induction of the sacX'-lacZ fusion requires either SacY or the homologous SacT antiterminator, which is involved in sucrose induction of the intracellular sucrase gene (sacPA operon). Sequence analysis of the sacX leader region revealed (20 nucleotides downstream from the transcription start site) a putative binding site for these regulators; however, no structure resembling a rho-independent terminator could be found overlapping this site, unlike the situation for sacPA and sacB. Deletion of a segment of the leader region located 100 nucleotides downstream from this site led to constitutive expression of the sacXY'-lacZ and sacX'-lacZ fusions. These results suggest that the mechanism of sucrose induction of sacXY is different from that of sacPA and sacB.
