Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli cydAB operon encodes the high-affinity terminal oxidase of the oxygen respiratory chain, cytochrome d oxidase. The sensor-regulator pair, ArcB-ArcA, is responsible for the microaerobic activation of the cydAB operon, whereas the anaerobic regulator Fnr represses its expression in the absence of oxygen. Fnr binds in vitro at two sites within the cydAB promoter element. To discern whether these...
