Regulation of denitrification genes in Neisseria meningitidis by nitric oxide and the repressor NsrR.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 2007

Rock Jonathan D, Thomson Melanie J, Read Robert C, Moir James W B

Abstract excerpt

The human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis is capable of growth using the denitrification of nitrite to nitrous oxide under microaerobic conditions. This process is catalyzed by two reductases: nitrite reductase (encoded by aniA) and nitric oxide (NO) reductase (encoded by norB). Here, we show that in N. meningitidis MC58 norB is regulated by nitric oxide via the product of gene NMB0437 which encodes NsrR. NsrR is...
