In Escherichia coli, CitB, a cognate response regulator of CitA, specifically bound to the promoter regions for mdh, citA, citC, and exuT. Transcription of these genes was induced by citrate under anaerobic conditions in a CitAB-dependent manner. Taking this together, we conclude that CitAB is the master regulatory system that activates the set of genes involved in citrate fermentation in E. coli.
在大肠杆菌中,CitB作为CitA的同源应答调节因子,特异性结合到mdh、citA、citC和exuT的启动子区域。在厌氧条件下,这些基因的转录由柠檬酸盐以CitAB依赖的方式诱导。综合这些结果,我们得出结论,CitAB是激活大肠杆菌中参与柠檬酸盐发酵的一组基因的主要调控系统。
