The oxygen sensor regulator FNR (fumarate nitrate reductase regulator) of Escherichia coli is known to be inactivated by O2 as the result of conversion of a [4Fe-4S] cluster of the protein into a [2Fe-2S] cluster. Further incubation with O2 causes loss of the [2Fe-2S] cluster and production of apoFNR. The reactions involved in cluster assembly and reductive activation of apoFNR isolated under anaerobic or aerobic conditions were studied in vivo and in vitro. In a gshA mutant of E. coli that was completely devoid of glutathione, the O2 tension for the regulatory switch for FNR-dependent gene regulation was decreased by a factor of 4-5 compared with the wild-type, suggesting a role for glutathione in FNR function. In isolated apoFNR, glutathione could be used as the reducing agent for HS- formation required for [4Fe-4S] assembly by cysteine desulfurase (NifS), and for the reduction of cysteine ligands of the FeS cluster in FNR. Air-inactivated FNR (apoFNR without FeS) could be reconstituted to [4Fe-4S].FNR by the same reaction as used for apoFNR isolated under anaerobic conditions. The in vivo effects of glutathione on FNR function and the role of glutathione in the formation of active [4Fe-4S].FNR in vitro suggest an important role for glutathione in the de novo assembly of FNR and in the reductive activation of air-oxidized FNR under anaerobic conditions. 相似文献

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae hlyX gene homology with the fnr gene of Escherichia coli. 总被引:12,自引:5,他引:7 下载免费PDF全文
The hlyX gene from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, which confers a hemolytic phenotype on Escherichia coli, was sequenced, and its role in regulation of gene expression was investigated. No similarity was found between the hlyX sequence and sequences of known hemolysin or cytotoxin genes. However, the hlyX sequence was very similar to that of the fnr gene of Escherichia coli which encodes the global regulatory protein, FNR. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the hlyX gene product (HlyX) with that of FNR revealed a high degree of well-aligned sequence correlation throughout the polypeptide chain. For example, 23 of 24 amino acids in the DNA-binding region of FNR are identical in the corresponding region of HlyX. Four cysteine residues in the amino-terminal region are also conserved. The promoter region of hlyX is very similar to that of fnr. It has a putative -10 sequence which closely resembles the E. coli -10 consensus sequence. This sequence is overlapped by a potential operator which is very similar to the FNR-binding-site consensus sequence. Functional homology between HlyX and FNR was also demonstrated. Plasmids carrying hlyX complemented the nutritional lesion of an fnr deletion strain of E. coli. These data suggest that HlyX may regulate, rather than mediate, hemolytic activity in E. coli, but the possibility that HlyX is both a regulator of gene expression and a hemolysin cannot be excluded. 相似文献
