Abstract excerpt
The regulatory gene for a sigma54-dependent-type transcriptional regulator, fhpR, is located upstream of the fhp gene for flavohemoglobin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Transcription of fhp was induced by nitrate, nitrite, nitric oxide (NO), and NO-generating reagents. Analysis of the fhp promoter activity in mutant strains deficient in the denitrification enzymes indicated that the promoter was regulated by NO or...
