In this study, oxygen and nitrate regulation of transcription and subsequent protein expression of the unique narK1K2GHJI respiratory operon of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated. Under the control of PLAC, P. aeruginosa was able to transcribe nar and subsequently express methyl viologen-linked nitrate reductase activity under aerobic conditions without nitrate. Modulation of PLAC through the LacI repressor enabled us to assess both transcriptional and posttranslational regulation by oxygen during physiological whole-cell nitrate reduction.
在本研究中,对铜绿假单胞菌独特的narK1K2GHJI呼吸操纵子转录及随后的蛋白质表达的氧和硝酸盐调控进行了研究。在PLAC的控制下,铜绿假单胞菌能够转录nar,并随后在有氧无硝酸盐条件下表达甲基紫精连接的硝酸盐还原酶活性。通过LacI阻遏物对PLAC进行调控,使我们能够评估在生理性全细胞硝酸盐还原过程中氧对转录和翻译后水平的调控。
