Little is known about the gene regulatory mechanisms for this bacterium. A gene encoding a putative transcription factor, <jats:italic>tr1</jats:italic> , upstream of three tandem genes encoding outer membrane proteins, including the major outer membrane protein P44, is driven by a strong promoter. In the present study, gel mobility shift assays revealed the presence of <jats:italic>A. phagocytophilum</jats:italic> proteins that interact with the promoter region of <jats:italic>tr1</jats:italic> . These proteins interacting with the <jats:italic>tr1</jats:italic> promoter region were purified by biotin-labeled DNA affinity chromatography from a large amount of host cell-free bacteria. Mass spectrometry identified the major protein as an <jats:italic>A. phagocytophilum</jats:italic> 12.5-kDa hypothetical protein, which was named ApxR. In a DNase I protection assay, recombinant ApxR (rApxR) bound cooperatively to four 24- or 25-bp sites within 235 bp upstream of <jats:italic>tr1</jats:italic> : regions III and IV proximal to <jats:italic>tr1</jats:italic> had higher affinity than regions I and II did. Deletion assays showed that regions III and IV were essential for rApxR binding, whereas regions I and II upstream of regions III and IV were not. The primary <jats:italic>cis</jats:italic> -acting region was region IV, since region IV alone was sufficient for rApxR to strongly transactivate the downstream gene in a <jats:italic>lacZ</jats:italic> reporter assay. Addition of regions I, II, and III did not enhance transactivation. These results show that ApxR is a novel transcriptional regulator that directly regulates <jats:italic>tr1</jats:italic> . </jats:p> Proteomic Identification of a Novel <i>Anaplasma phagocytophilum</i> DNA Binding Protein That Regulates a Putative Transcription Factor Journal of Bacteriology
