Hemin-dependent growth stimulation and cytochrome synthesis in Corynebacterium pyogenes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Growth of Corynebacterium pyogenes, an important pathogen in animals, was greatly increased on addition of hemin to a medium of tryptose plus mineral. The synthesis of a type b cytochrome in this organism appeared to depend on the presence of hemin in the growth medium.

Biosynthesis of hematin compounds in a hemin requiring strain of Micrococcus pyogenes var. aureus. I. The significance of coenzyme A for the terminal synthesis of catalase.
A mutant of Micrococcus pyogenes var. aureus isolated in 1952 has been used to investigate the biosynthesis of certain hematin enzymes. This strain has been described and its hemin requirements analysed in a series of papers (Jensen and Thofern 1953a, b, c, d; 1954). Since the present study is very closely related to and based upon the previous results, a brief summary is indicated: (1) The hem...
متن کاملControl of heme homeostasis in Corynebacterium glutamicum by the two-component system HrrSA.
The response regulator HrrA of the HrrSA two-component system (previously named CgtSR11) was recently found to be repressed by the global iron-dependent regulator DtxR in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Here, we provide evidence that HrrA mediates heme-dependent gene regulation in this nonpathogenic soil bacterium. Growth experiments and DNA microarray analysis revealed that C. glutamicum is able t...
متن کاملGrowth and cytochrome synthesis in a hemin-requiring mutant of Spirillum itersonii.
Spirillum itersonii forms considerable amounts of band c-type cytochrome when grown under low aeration, and we have suggested that synthesis of the heme prosthetic group, derived from glycine and succinyl CoA, might be important in regulating the formation of the complete hemoproteins (1). The isolation of a mutant strain requiring hemin (ferric protoporphyrin chloride) has enabled a more direc...

متن کاملHtaA is an iron-regulated hemin binding protein involved in the utilization of heme iron in Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
Many human pathogens, including Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the causative agent of diphtheria, use host compounds such as heme and hemoglobin as essential iron sources. In this study, we examined the Corynebacterium hmu hemin transport region, a genetic cluster that contains the hmuTUV genes encoding a previously described ABC-type hemin transporter and three additional genes, which we have de...
