Mechanisms of adaptation to nitrosative stress in Bacillus subtilis.
Bacteria use a number of mechanisms for coping with the toxic effects exerted by nitric oxide (NO) and its derivatives. Here we show that the flavohemoglobin encoded by the hmp gene has a vital role in an adaptive response to protect the soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis from nitrosative stress. We further show that nitrosative stress induced by the nitrosonium cation donor sodium nitroprusside ...
متن کاملAdaptation of Bacillus subtilis to oxygen limitation.
Bacillus subtilis grows anaerobically by at least two different pathways, respiration using nitrate as an electron acceptor and fermentation in the absence of electron acceptors. Regulatory mechanisms have evolved allowing cells to shift to these metabolic capabilities in response to changes in oxygen availability. These include transcriptional activation of fnr upon oxygen limitation, a proces...
متن کاملSalt stress adaptation of Bacillus subtilis: a physiological proteomics approach.
The adaptation to osmotic stress is crucial for growth and survival of Bacillus subtilis in its natural ecosystem. Dual channel imaging and warping of 2-D protein gels were used to visualize global changes in the protein synthesis pattern of cells in response to osmotic stress (6% NaCl). Many vegetative enzymes were repressed in response to salt stress and derepressed after resumption of growth...
متن کاملInduction of ResDE-dependent gene expression in Bacillus subtilis in response to nitric oxide and nitrosative stress.
Transcription of ResDE-controlled genes in Bacillus subtilis was induced by sodium nitroprusside and nitric oxide. This induction requires the sensor kinase ResE and the response regulator ResD. Among members of the ResDE regulon, only the flavohemoglobin gene was induced by nitrosative stress via both a ResDE-dependent mechanism and an unidentified ResDE-independent mechanism.
متن کاملSalmonella Reprograms Nucleotide Metabolism in Its Adaptation to Nitrosative Stress
The adaptations that protect pathogenic microorganisms against the cytotoxicity of nitric oxide (NO) engendered in the immune response are incompletely understood. We show here that salmonellae experiencing nitrosative stress suffer dramatic losses of the nucleoside triphosphates ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP while simultaneously generating a massive burst of the alarmone nucleotide guanosine tetrapho...
