Nitric oxide (NO) induces NO-detoxifying enzymes
in Escherichia coli suggesting sensitive mechanisms for
coordinate control of NO defense genes in response to NO stress.
Exposure of E. coli to sub-micromolar NO levels under
anaerobic conditions rapidly induced transcription of the NO reductase
(NOR) structural genes, norV and norW, as
monitored by lac gene fusions. Disruption of rpoN ( 54) impaired the NO-mediated induction
of norV and norW transcription and NOR
expression, whereas disruption of the upstream regulatory gene,
norR, completely ablated NOR induction. NOR inducibility was restored to NorR null mutants by expressing NorR in
trans. Furthermore, an internal deletion of the N-terminal
domain of NorR activated NOR expression independent of NO exposure.
Neither NorR nor 54 was essential for NO-mediated
induction of the NO dioxygenase (flavohemoglobin) encoded by
hmp. However, elevated NOR activity inhibited NO
dioxygenase induction, and, in the presence of dioxygen, NO dioxygenase
inhibited norV induction by NO. The results demonstrate the
role of NorR as a 54-dependent regulator of
norVW expression. A role for the NorR N-terminal domain as
a transducer or sensor for NO is suggested.
