Nitrate regulation of anaerobic respiratory gene expression in narX deletion mutants of Escherichia coli K-12.

Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that narL+ is required for nitrate regulation of anaerobic respiratory enzyme synthesis, including formate dehydrogenase-N, nitrate reductase, and fumarate reductase. Insertions in the closely linked narX gene decrease, but do not abolish, nitrate regulation of anaerobic enzyme synthesis. Analysis of sequence similarities suggests that NarX and NarL comprise a two-component regulatory...
