The bacterionanofiber protein AtaA, a member of the trimeric autotransporter adhesin family found in Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5, is responsible for the nonspecific, high adhesiveness and autoagglutination of this strain. Previously, we introduced the ataA gene into the nonadhesive Acinetobacter strain ST-550, which conferred high adhesiveness to this strain, immobilized its cells, and improved indigo productivity due to enhanced tolerance to the toxic substrate. In this study, we again demonstrated the effectiveness of this new microbial immobilization method using AtaA in a number of conditions. AtaA enabled the effective immobilization of growing, resting, and lyophilized cells of a type strain of Acinetobacter, ADP1, which is also intrinsically nonadhesive, onto the surface of several kinds of support ranging from artificial to natural materials and from hydrophobic polyurethane to hydrophilic glass. Immobilization with AtaA enabled exclusive cell growth in the support space and only a few cells existed in the bulk medium. Immobilization of resting cells drastically increased cell concentration, depending on the support material; dry cells of approximately 110 g/L could be immobilized onto glass wool. Finally, we demonstrated that ADP1 cells immobilized on polyurethane foam can undergo at least 10 repetitive reactions without inactivation during a 5-h period. Even after drying and storing for 3 days, the immobilized cells showed enzymatic activity and an ester hydrolysis reaction was repeated by simply transferring the support with the cells into a fresh reaction buffer.

TdIF1 was originally identified as a protein that directly binds to terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase, TdT. Through in vitro selection assays (SELEX), we recently showed that TdIF1 recognizes both AT-tract and a specific DNA sequence motif, 5'-TGCATG-3', and can up-regulate the expression of RAB20 through the latter motif. However, whether TdIF1 binds to these sequences in the cells has not been clear and its other target genes remain to be identified. Here, we determined in vivo TdIF1-binding sequences (TdIF1-invivoBMs) on the human chromosomes through ChIP-seq analyses. The result showed a 160-base pair cassette containing 'AT-tract~palindrome (inverted repeat)~AT-tract' as a likely target sequence of TdIF1. Interestingly, the core sequence of the palindrome in the TdIF1-invivoBMs shares significant similarity to the above 5'-TGCATG-3' motif determined by SELEX in vitro. Furthermore, spacer sequences between AT-tract and the palindrome contain many potential transcription factor binding sites. In luciferase assays, TdIF1 can up-regulate transcription activity of the promoters containing the TdIF1-invivoBM, and this effect is mainly through the palindrome. Clusters of this motif were found in the potential target genes. Gene ontology analysis and RT-qPCR showed the enrichment of some candidate targets of TdIF1 among the genes involved in the regulation of ossification. Potential modes of transcription activation by TdIF1 are discussed.
