Analysis of the sequence immediate upstream of ohr revealed an open reading frame, designated ohrR, with the potential to encode a 17-kDa peptide with moderate amino acid sequence homology to the MarR family of negative regulators of gene expression. ohrR was transcribed as bicistronic mRNA with ohr, while ohr mRNA was found to be 95% monocistronic and 5% bicistronic with ohrR. Expression of both genes was induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBOOH) treatment. High-level expression of ohrR negatively regulated ohr expression. This repression could be overcome by tBOOH treatment. In vivo promoter analysis showed that the ohrR promoter (P1) has organic peroxide-inducible, strong activity, while the ohr promoter (P2) has constitutive, weak activity. Only P1 is autoregulated by OhrR. ohr primer extension results revealed three major primer extension products corresponding to the 5' ends of ohr mRNA, and their levels were strongly induced by tBOOH treatment. Sequence analysis of regions upstream of these sites showed no typical Xanthomonas promoter. Instead, the regions can form a stem-loop secondary structure with the 5' ends of ohr mRNA located in the loop section. The secondary structure resembles the structure recognized and processed by RNase III enzyme. These findings suggest that the P1 promoter is responsible for tBOOH-induced expression of the ohrR-ohr operon. The bicistronic mRNA is then processed by RNase III-like enzymes to give high levels of ohr mRNA, while ohrR mRNA is rapidly degraded. 相似文献

Xanthomonas encounters highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) from many sources, such as those generated by plants against invading bacteria, other soil bacteria and from aerobic respiration. Thus, conditions that alter intracellular ROS levels such as exposure to toxic metalloids would have profound effects on bacterial physiology. Here, we report that exposure of Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli (Xp) to low levels of arsenic induces physiological cross-protection against killing by H(2)O(2) and organic hydroperoxide but not a superoxide generator. Cross-protection against H(2)O(2) and organic hydroperoxide toxicity was due to increased expression of genes encoding major peroxide-metabolizing enzymes such as alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpC), catalase (KatA) and organic hydroperoxide resistance protein (Ohr). Arsenic-induced protection against H(2)O(2) and organic hydroperoxide requires the peroxide stress response regulators, OxyR and OhrR, respectively. Moreover, analyses of double mutants of the major H(2)O(2) and organic hyproperoxide-scavenging enzymes, Xp ahpC katA and Xp ahpC ohr, respectively, suggested the existence of unidentified OxyR- and OhrR-regulated genes that are involved in arsenic-induced resistance to H(2)O(2) and organic hyproperoxide killing in Xp. These arsenic-induced physiological alterations could play an important role in bacterial survival both in the soil environment and during plant-pathogen interactions. 相似文献

Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (ahpC) and organic hydroperoxide resistance (ohr) are distinct genes, structurally and regulatory, but have similar physiological functions. In Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli inactivation of either gene results in increased sensitivity to killing with organic peroxides. An ahpC1-ohr double mutant was highly sensitive to both growth inhibition and killing treatment with organic peroxides. High level expression of ahpC or ohr only partially complemented the phenotype of the double mutant, suggesting that these genes function synergistically, but through different pathways, to protect Xanthomonas from organic peroxide toxicity. Functional analyses of Ohr and AhpC abilities to degrade organic hydroperoxides revealed that both Ohr and AhpC could degrade tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBOOH) while the former was more efficient at degrading cumene hydroperoxide (CuOOH). Expression analysis of these genes in the mutants showed no compensatory alterations in the levels of AhpC or Ohr. However, CuOOH induced expression of these genes in the mutants was affected. CuOOH induced ahpC expression was higher in the ohr mutant than in the parental strain; in contrast, the ahpC mutation has no effect on the level of induced ohr expression. These analyses reveal complex physiological roles and expression patterns of seemingly functionally similar genes. 相似文献

ohr (organic hydroperoxide resistance gene) is present in several species of bacteria, and its deletion renders cells specifically sensitive to organic peroxides. The goal of this work was to determine the biochemical function of Ohr from Xylella fastidiosa. All of the Ohr homologues possess two cysteine residues, one of them located in a VCP motif, which is also present in all of the proteins from the peroxiredoxin family. Therefore, we have investigated whether Ohr possesses thiol-dependent peroxidase activity. The ohr gene from X. fastidiosa was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant Ohr decomposed hydroperoxides in a dithiothreitol-dependent manner. Ohr was about twenty times more efficient to remove organic hydroperoxides than to remove H(2)O(2). This result is consistent with the organic hydroperoxide sensitivity of Delta ohr strains. The dependence of Ohr on thiol compounds was ascertained by glutamine synthetase protection assays. Approximately two thiol equivalents were consumed per peroxide removed indicating that Ohr catalyzes the following reaction: 2RSH + ROOH --> RSSR + ROH + H(2)O. Pretreatment of Ohr with N-ethyl maleimide and substitution of cysteine residues by serines inhibited this peroxidase activity indicating that both of the Ohr cysteines are important to the decomposition of peroxides. C125S still had a residual enzymatic activity indicating that Cys-61 is directly involved in peroxide removal. Monothiol compounds do not support the peroxidase activity of Ohr as well as thioredoxin from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and from Spirulina. Interestingly, dithiothreitol and dyhydrolipoic acid, which possess two sulfhydryl groups, do support the peroxidase activity of Ohr. Taken together our results unequivocally demonstrated that Ohr is a thiol-dependent peroxidase. 相似文献

Bacterial pathogens display versatile gene expression to adapt to changing surroundings. For example, Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, utilizes distinct genetic programs to combat reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aquatic environments or during host infection. We previously reported that the virulence activator AphB in V. cholerae is involved in ROS resistance. Here by performing a genetic screen, we show that AphB represses ROS resistance gene ohrA, which is also repressed by another regulator, OhrR. Reduced forms of both AphB and OhrR directly bind to the ohrA promoter and repress its expression, whereas organic hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) deactivate AphB and OhrR. OhrA is critical for V. cholerae adult mouse colonization but is dispensable when the mice are treated with antioxidants. Furthermore, similar to our previous finding that AphB and OhrR exhibit different reduction rates during the shift from oxic to anoxic environments, we found that AphB is also oxidized more slowly than OhrR under peroxide stress or exposure to oxygen. This differential regulation optimizes the expression of ohrA and contributes to V. cholerae's ability to survive in a variety of environmental niches that contain different levels of ROS. 相似文献

Oxidative stress conditions lead to enzymatic and non-enzymatic unsaturated fatty acid-initiated lipid peroxidation reactions. One exacerbating product is lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) which itself promotes formation of several additional peroxyl radicals. Helicobacter pylori mutant strains with disruptions in genes encoding the peroxiredoxins, alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (ahpC) and the bacterioferritin comigratory protein (bcp), were more sensitive than the parent strain to oxidizing agents. These mutant strains were particularly sensitive, compared to the wild type, to killing by the unsaturated fatty acid linolenic acid but were not sensitive to the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid. A double mutant strain (ahpC bcp) accumulated more than 3-fold more lipid peroxides than the parent strain, indicating these peroxiredoxins together play a role in detoxifying lipid peroxides. The level of free iron accumulation, a signature of oxidative stress damage, was correlated specifically to organic peroxide-mediated stress by both in vivo and in vitro approaches. Free iron accumulation and concomitant destruction of [Fe-S] cluster-containing proteins (hydrogenase and aconitase) was correlated to damage mediated by exogenous t-butyl peroxide, or separately to intracellular accumulation of lipid peroxides in mutant strains. A major macromolecular target of accumulating lipid peroxides in H. pylori is DNA, as mutant analysis approaches combined with quantitative DNA fragmentation studies and specific DNA damage assessment (i.e. 8-oxoguanine formation) were used to demonstrate that such damage was especially associated with ahpC and ahpC bcp strains. 相似文献
