Expression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa aer-2, one of two aerotaxis transducer genes, is controlled by RpoS.

چکیده
Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses two aerotaxis transducers, Aer and Aer-2. A deletion-insertion mutation of alternative sigma factor RpoS eliminated Aer-2-mediated aerotaxis but not Aer-mediated aerotaxis. Transcriptional analysis revealed that cheY2, cheA2, cheW2, and aer-2 were expressed in an RpoS-dependent manner as a single transcript.

Chemotaxis proteins and transducers for aerotaxis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
It was previously shown that the chemotaxis gene cluster 1 (cheYZABW) was required for chemotaxis. In this study, the involvement of the same cluster in aerotaxis is described and two transducer genes for aerotaxis are identified. Aerotaxis assays of a number of deletion-insertion mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 revealed that the chemotaxis gene cluster 1 and cheR are required for aerota...
متن کاملCharacterization of Vibrio cholerae aerotaxis.
The ability to move toward favorable environmental conditions, called chemotaxis, is common among motile bacteria. In particular, aerotaxis has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli and was shown to be dependent on the aer and tsr genes. Three putative aer gene homologs were identified in the Vibrio cholerae genome, designated aer-1 (VC0512), aer-2 (VCA0658), and aer-3 (VCA0988). Deletio...
متن کاملIn silico Analysis and Molecular Modeling of RNA Polymerase, Sigma S (RpoS) Protein in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
Background: Sigma factors are proteins that regulate transcription in bacteria. Sigma factors can be activated in response to different environmental conditions. The rpoS (RNA polymerase, sigma S) gene encodes sigma-38 (σ38, or RpoS), a 37.8 kDa protein in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) strains. RpoS is a central regulator of the general stress response and operates in both retroa...
متن کاملLoss- and gain-of-function mutations in the F1-HAMP region of the Escherichia coli aerotaxis transducer Aer.
The Escherichia coli Aer protein contains an N-terminal PAS domain that binds flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), senses aerotactic stimuli, and communicates with the output signaling domain. To explore the roles of the intervening F1 and HAMP segments in Aer signaling, we isolated plasmid-borne aerotaxis-defective mutations in a host strain lacking all chemoreceptors of the methyl-accepting che...
