Aromatic degradative pathways in Acinetobacter baylyi underlie carbon catabolite repression.
Carbon catabolite repression is an important mechanism allowing efficient carbon source utilization. In the soil bacterium Acinetobacter baylyi, this mechanism has been shown to apply to the aromatic degradative pathways for the substrates protocatechuate, p-hydroxybenzoate and vanillate. In this investigation, transcriptional fusions with the gene for luciferase in the gene clusters for the de...
متن کاملExpression of degradative genes of Pseudomonas putida in Caulobacter crescentus.
The recombinant plasmid RP4-TOL was transferred into Caulobacter crescentus at a high frequency, and the plasmid was maintained for at least 50 generations. C. crescentus cells which contained RP4-TOL grew on all the aromatic compounds that the plasmid normally allowed Pseudomonas putida to grow on. Reciprocal transfers from C. crescentus donor to P. putida or Escherichia coli recipients were l...
متن کاملOuter membrane changes in a toluene-sensitive mutant of toluene-tolerant Pseudomonas putida IH-2000.
We isolated a toluene-sensitive mutant, named mutant No. 32, which showed unchanged antibiotic resistance levels, from toluene-tolerant Pseudomonas putida IH-2000 by transposon mutagenesis with Tn5. The gene disrupted by insertion of Tn5 was identified as cyoC, which is one of the subunits of cytochrome o. The membrane protein, phospholipid, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of IH-2000 and that of m...
متن کاملSubtle difference between benzene and toluene dioxygenases of Pseudomonas putida.
Benzene dioxygenase and toluene dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida have similar catalytic properties, structures, and gene organizations, but they differ in substrate specificity, with toluene dioxygenase having higher activity toward alkylbenzenes. The catalytic iron-sulfur proteins of these enzymes consist of two dissimilar subunits, alpha and beta; the alpha subunit contains a [2Fe-2S] clus...
متن کاملCatabolite repression control by crc in 2xYT medium is mediated by posttranscriptional regulation of bkdR expression in Pseudomonas putida.
The effect of growth in 2xYT medium on catabolite repression control in Pseudomonas putida has been investigated using the bkd operon, encoding branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase. Crc (catabolite repression control protein) was shown to be responsible for repression of bkd operon transcription in 2xYT. BkdR levels were elevated in a P. putida crc mutant, but bkdR transcript levels were the ...
