PhcS represses gratuitous expression of phenol-metabolizing enzymes in Comamonas testosteroni R5.
We identified an open reading frame, designated phcS, downstream of the transcriptional activator gene (phcR) for the expression of multicomponent phenol hydroxylase (mPH) in Comamonas testosteroni R5. The deduced product of phcS was homologous to AphS of C. testosteroni TA441, which belongs to the GntR family of transcriptional regulators. The transformation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1c (ph...
متن کاملAn AraC/XylS family member at a high level in a hierarchy of regulators for phenol-metabolizing enzymes in Comamonas testosteroni R5.
Comamonas testosteroni strain R5 expresses a higher level of phenol-oxygenating activity than any other bacterial strain so far characterized. The expression of the operon encoding multicomponent phenol hydroxylase (mPH), which is responsible for the phenol-oxygenating activity, is controlled by two transcriptional regulators, PhcS and PhcR, in strain R5. In this study, we identified a third tr...
متن کاملTestosterone-regulated expression of enzymes involved in steroid and aromatic hydrocarbon catabolism in Comamonas testosteroni.
The effect of testosterone as the sole carbon source on protein expression was analyzed in Comamonas testosteroni. Testosterone simultaneously induced the expression of steroid- and aromatic hydrocarbon-catabolizing enzymes and repressed one amino acid-degrading enzyme. It is suggested that steroids play a regulative role in catabolic enzyme synthesis during adaptive growth of C. testosteroni.
متن کاملSteroid degradation in Comamonas testosteroni.
Steroid degradation by Comamonas testosteroni and Nocardia restrictus have been intensively studied for the purpose of obtaining materials for steroid drug synthesis. C. testosteroni degrades side chains and converts single/double bonds of certain steroid compounds to produce androsta-1,4-diene 3,17-dione or the derivative. Following 9α-hydroxylation leads to aromatization of the A-ring accompa...
متن کاملPolymicrobial Bacteremia Involving Comamonas testosteroni
Comamonas spp. are uncommon isolates in microbiology laboratories and have been rarely observed as an infectious agent in clinical practice. They have widespread environmental distribution and have been isolated from water, soil, and plants as well as from some hospital devices such as intravenous catheters and water contained in humidifier reservoirs used in respiratory treatment. The genus Co...
