Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional activator CooA from Rhodospirillum rubrum contains a b-type heme that acts as a CO sensor in vivo. CooA is the first example of a transcriptional regulator containing a heme as a prosthetic group and of a hemeprotein in which CO plays a physiological role. In this study, we constructed an in vivo reporter system to measure the transcriptional activator activity of CooA and prepared some CooA...
