Abstract
The differential gene expression under phosphate stress conditions leads to cross-talk between the global regulator, pho regulon, and metabolic genes. Promoter activity analysis of the selected 23 genes reveals the dynamic nature of real-time gene expression under different phosphate conditions. The expression profiles of the global regulator (rpoD, soxR, soxS, arcB, and fur), pho regulon (phoH, phoR, phoB, and ugpB), and metabolic genes (sdh, pfkA, ldh) varied significantly on phosphate level variation. Under stress conditions, soxR switches expression partners and co-expresses with rpoS instead of soxS. The partner-switching behavior of the genes under a challenging environment represents the intelligence of functional execution and ensures cell survival. The dynamic expression profile of the selected genes applies a time-lagged correlation to provide insight into the differential gene interaction between time-shifted expression profiles. Under different phosphate conditions, the minimum spanning tree graph revealed a different clustering pattern of selected genes depending on the computed distance and its proximity to other promoters.
