High osmolarity is a signal for enhanced algD transcription in mucoid and nonmucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

Chronic lung infection with mucoid, alginate-producing strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Transcriptional activation of the P. aeruginosa algD gene, which encodes GDPmannose dehydrogenase, is essential for alginate synthesis. Activation of algD is dependent on the product of the algR gene. Sequence homology between the P. aeruginosa...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in cystic fibrosis: nucleotide sequence and transcriptional regulation of the algD gene.

Pulmonary infection by mucoid, alginate producing, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major complication in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF). To analyze the mechanisms leading to the emergence of mucoid P. aeruginosa in CF lungs, control of the algD gene coding for GDPmannose dehydrogenase was studied. Transcriptional activation of algD was shown to be necessary for alginate production. Se...

Microarray analysis of global gene expression in mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the dominant pathogen causing chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF). After an initial phase characterized by intermittent infections, a chronic colonization is established in CF upon the conversion of P. aeruginosa to the mucoid, exopolysaccharide alginate-overproducing phenotype. The emergence of mucoid P. aeruginosa in CF is associated with respirato...

The NtrC family regulator AlgB, which controls alginate biosynthesis in mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa, binds directly to the algD promoter.

Alginate production in mucoid (MucA-defective) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is dependent upon several transcriptional regulators, including AlgB, a two-component response regulator belonging to the NtrC family. This role of AlgB was apparently independent of its sensor kinase, KinB, and even the N-terminal phosphorylation domain of AlgB was dispensable for alginate biosynthetic gene (i.e., algD opero...

Sarcosine Catabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Is Transcriptionally Regulated by SouR.

UNLABELLED Sarcosine (N-methylglycine) is present in many environments inhabited by pseudomonads and is likely most often encountered as an intermediate in the metabolism of choline, carnitine, creatine, and glyphosate. While the enzymology of sarcosine metabolism has been relatively well studied in bacteria, the regulatory mechanisms governing catabolism have remained largely unknown. We previ...
