The expression of the cydDC operon was investigated by using a chromosomal phi(cydD-lacZ) transcriptional fusion and primer extension analysis. A single transcriptional start site was found for cydD located 68 bp upstream of the translational start site, and Northern blot analysis confirmed that cydDC is transcribed as a polycistronic message independently of the upstream gene trxB. cydDC was highly expressed under aerobic growth conditions and during anaerobic growth with alternative electron acceptors. Aerobic expression was independent of ArcA and Fnr, but induction of cydDC by nitrate and nitrite was dependent on NarL and Fnr.
通过使用染色体phi(cydD - lacZ)转录融合和引物延伸分析来研究cydDC操纵子的表达。发现cydD有一个单一的转录起始位点,位于翻译起始位点上游68 bp处,Northern印迹分析证实cydDC作为多顺反子信息进行转录,独立于上游基因trxB。cydDC在有氧生长条件下以及在使用替代电子受体的厌氧生长过程中高度表达。有氧表达独立于ArcA和Fnr,但硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐对cydDC的诱导依赖于NarL和Fnr。
