Superoxide radical-generating compounds activate a predicted promoter site for paraquat-inducible genes of the Chromobacterium violaceum bacterium in a dose-dependent manner.

The purpose of the present study was to functionally evaluate the influence of superoxide radical-generating compounds on the heterologous induction of a predicted promoter region of open reading frames for paraquat-inducible genes (pqi genes) revealed during genome annotation analyses of the Chromobacterium violaceum bacterium. A 388-bp fragment corresponding to a pqi gene promoter of C. viola...

The Chromobacterium violaceum ArsR Arsenite Repressor Exerts Tighter Control on Its Cognate Promoter Than the Escherichia coli System

Environmental bacteria are endowed with several regulatory systems that have potential applications in biotechnology. In this report, we characterize the arsenic biosensing features of the ars response system from Chromobacterium violaceum in the heterologous host Escherichia coli. We show that the native Pars/arsR system of C. violaceum outperforms the chromosomal ars copy of E. coli when expo...

Engineering Corynebacterium glutamicum for violacein hyper production

BACKGROUND Corynebacterium glutamicum was used as a metabolic engineering chassis for production of crude violacein (mixture of violacein and deoxyviolacein) due to Corynebacterium's GRAS status and advantages in tryptophan fermentation. The violacein is a commercially potential compound with various applications derived from L-tryptophan. RESULTS Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21850 that co...

Regulation of the nfsA Gene in Escherichia coli by SoxS.

In Escherichia coli, the response to oxidative stress due to elevated levels of superoxide is mediated, in part, by the soxRS regulon. One member of the soxRS regulon, nfsA, encodes the major oxygen-insensitive nitroreductase in Escherichia coli which catalyzes the reduction of nitroaromatic and nitroheterocyclic compounds by NADPH. In this study we investigate the regulation of nfsA in respons...

Paraquat regulation of hmp (flavohemoglobin) gene expression in Escherichia coli K-12 is SoxRS independent but modulated by sigma S.

We report the first example of a gene, hmp, encoding a soluble flavohemoglobin in Escherichia coli K-12, which is up-regulated by paraquat in a SoxRS-independent manner. Unlike what is found for other paraquat-inducible genes, high concentrations of paraquat (200 microM) were required to increase the level of hmp expression, and maximal induction was observed only after 20 min of exposure to pa...
