OxyR5, from a Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli H(2)O(2)-resistant mutant, contains the two mutations G197D and L301R. The protein exists in its oxidized-like form in the absence of oxidants as judged by the protein's ability to activate the ahpC promoter. Analysis of DNase I footprint patterns indicates that under reducing conditions OxyR5 and OxyRG197D bind to the target site in the ahpC promoter in a manner similar to oxidized wild-type OxyR. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that OxyR5 behaves like oxidized OxyR, independent of the highly conserved C residues at positions 199 and 208 where, in normal OxyR, a disulfide bond between these residues converts the protein from its reduced to the oxidized form. The presence of aspartic acid or valine residue at position 197 caused OxyR to behave like the oxidized form in uninduced cells. Changing D197 to A or T in OxyR5 resulted in proteins with similar properties to native OxyR. In vivo, OxyR5 probably locked in an oxidized-like conformation, resulting in continuous high-level activation of target genes in the OxyR regulon. 相似文献

Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) is the catalytic subunit responsible for alkyl peroxide metabolism. A Xanthomonas ahpC mutant was constructed. The mutant had increased sensitivity to organic peroxide killing, but was unexpectedly hyperresistant to H(2)O(2) killing. Analysis of peroxide detoxification enzymes in this mutant revealed differential alteration in catalase activities in that its bifunctional catalase-peroxidase enzyme and major monofunctional catalase (Kat1) increased severalfold, while levels of its third growth-phase-regulated catalase (KatE) did not change. The increase in catalase activities was a compensatory response to lack of AhpC, and the phenotype was complemented by expression of a functional ahpC gene. Regulation of the catalase compensatory response was complex. The Kat1 compensatory response increase in activity was mediated by OxyR, since it was abolished in an oxyR mutant. In contrast, the compensatory response increase in activity for the bifunctional catalase-peroxidase enzyme was mediated by an unknown regulator, independent of OxyR. Moreover, the mutation in ahpC appeared to convert OxyR from a reduced form to an oxidized form that activated genes in the OxyR regulon in uninduced cells. This complex regulation of the peroxide stress response in Xanthomonas differed from that in other bacteria. 相似文献

Homologues of the catalase-peroxidase gene katG and the gene for the non-specific DNA binding protein dpsA were identified downstream of oxyR in Burkholderia pseudomallei. Northern experiments revealed that both katG and dpsA are co-transcribed during oxidative stress. Under conditions where the katG promoter is not highly induced, dpsA is transcribed from a second promoter located within the katG-dpsA intergenic region. A katG insertion mutant was found to be hypersensitive to various oxidants. Analysis of katG expression in the oxyR mutant indicates that OxyR is a dual function regulator that represses the expression of katG during normal growth and activates katG during exposure to oxidative stress. Both reduced and oxidized OxyR were shown to bind to the katG promoter. 相似文献
