Characterization of the Escherichia coli K-12 ydhYVWXUT operon: regulation by FNR, NarL and NarP

Abstract: In Escherichia coli K-12 the expression of many genes is controlled by the oxygen-responsive transcription factor FNR and the nitrate-and nitrite-responsive two-component systems NarXL and NarPQ. Here, the ydhY gene is shown to be the first gene of a six-gene operon (ydhYVWXUT) that encodes proteins predicted to be components of an oxidoreductase. Mapping the ydhY-T transcript start and site-directed mutagenesis confirmed that the ydhY-T genes are transcribed from an FNR-dependent class II promoter and showed … Show more

“…Cytochrome b561 is an electron-transferring component of the respiratory chain (25). YdhY is predicted to be a ferredoxin-like protein and is possibly involved in electron transfer reactions (26). These results suggest that the ability to transfer electrons was enhanced upon VBNC state formation, which might increase the ATP level and thus provide energy for the survival of the cell.…”

“…These regions include the ferric aerobactin operon of 11128's second integrative element (IE02), which encodes a potential iron-scavenging siderophore, and part of the ydhYVWXUT oxidoreductase operon ( Fig. 2; see also Table S5 in the supplemental material) (38,39). The majority of differences were related to prophage genes, with some genes being without coverage (e.g., within P11 and P13) and other genes exhibiting more than 1ϫ coverage (e.g., within P02 and P05).…”

“…This family is distinguished by the presence of a W-bisPPT cofactor and the best-characterized examples are found in the hyperthermophilic archaeon P. furiosus, with examples glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (GAPOR) (Reher et al 2007), aldehyde oxidoreductase (AOR) (Bevers et al 2005), as well as the YdhV subunit of the E. coli YdhYVXU operon (Partridge et al 2008). It is notable that the first structure determined of a mononuclear Mo/W enzyme was that of the P. furiosus AOR (Chan et al 1995;Roy and Adams 2002).…”
