Characterization of regulatory mutations causing anaerobic derepression of the sodA gene in Escherichia coli K12: cooperation between cis- and trans-acting regulatory loci.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic loci leading to anaerobic derepression of a sodA::lacZ protein fusion in a UV-generated mutant strain (UV14) of Escherichia coli were identified. The mutant (UV14) was found to harbour two altered loci: one is in the trans-regulatory gene fnr (fumarate nitrate reduction) where leucine-129 was changed to glutamine (fnr14), and the second (sodA14) is in the promoter region (cis) of the sodA gene...
