Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli norVW genes encode a flavorubredoxin and NADH:(flavo)rubredoxin reductase, respectively, which are involved in nitric oxide detoxification under anaerobic growth conditions. Here it is shown that the norVW genes also have a role in protection against reactive nitrogen intermediates generated from nitroprusside. Transcription from the norV promoter is activated by the presence of nitroprusside...
