ABSTRACTTunable promoters represent a pivotal genetic tool for a wide range of applications. Here we present such a system for sphingomonads, a phylogenetically diverse group of bacteria that have gained much interest for their potential in bioremediation and their use in industry and for which no dedicated inducible gene expression system has been described so far. A strong, constitutive synthetic promoter was first identified through a genetic screen and subsequently combined with the repressor and the operator sites of thePseudomonas putidaF1cym/cmtsystem. The resulting promoter, termed PQ5, responds rapidly to the inducer cumate and shows a maximal induction ratio of 2 to 3 orders of magnitude in the different sphingomonads tested. Moreover, it was also functional in otherAlphaproteobacteria, such as the model organismsCaulobacter crescentus,Paracoccus denitrificans, andMethylobacterium extorquens. In the noninduced state, expression from PQ5is low enough to allow gene depletion analysis, as demonstrated with the essential genephyPofSphingomonassp. strain Fr1. A set of PQ5-based plasmids has been constructed allowing fusions to affinity tags or fluorescent proteins.
