The PsdRSAB and ApsRSAB detoxification modules, together with the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs)-resistance determinants Dlt system and MprF protein, play major roles in the response to AMPs in Lacticaseibacillus paracasei BL23. Sensitivity assays with a collection of mutants showed that the PsdAB ABC transporter and the Dlt system are the main subtilin resistance determinants. Quantification of the transcriptional response to subtilin indicate that this response is exclusively regulated by the two paralogous systems PsdRSAB and ApsRSAB. Remarkably, a cross-regulation of the derAB, mprF and dlt-operon genes-usually under control of ApsR-by PsdR in response to subtilin was unveiled. The high similarity of the predicted structures of both response regulators (RR), and of the RR-binding sites support this possibility, which we experimentally verified by protein-DNA binding studies. ApsR-P shows a preferential binding in the order P > P > P > P . However, PsdR-P bound with similar apparent affinity constants to the four promoters. This supports the cross-regulation of derAB, mprF and the dlt-operon by PsdR. The possibility of cross-regulation at the level of RR-promoter interaction allows some regulatory overlap with two RRs controlling the expression of systems involved in maintenance of critical cell membrane functions in response to lantibiotics.
