Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) is a poison, and organisms employ diverse systems to protect against its harmful effects. In Escherichia coli, ygaA encodes a transcription regulator (b2709) controlling anaerobic NO reduction and detoxification. Adjacent to ygaA and oppositely transcribed are ygaK (encoding a flavorubredoxin (flavoRb) (b2710) with a NO-binding non-heme diiron center) and ygbD (encoding a NADH:(flavo)Rb...
