A Xanthomonas alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (ahpC) mutant showed an altered peroxide stress response and complex regulation of the compensatory response of peroxide detoxification enzymes.
Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) is the catalytic subunit responsible for alkyl peroxide metabolism. A Xanthomonas ahpC mutant was constructed. The mutant had increased sensitivity to organic peroxide killing, but was unexpectedly hyperresistant to H(2)O(2) killing. Analysis of peroxide detoxification enzymes in this mutant revealed differential alteration in catalase activities i...
متن کاملRoles for the two cysteine residues of AhpC in catalysis of peroxide reduction by alkyl hydroperoxide reductase from Salmonella typhimurium.
The catalytic properties of cysteine residues Cys46 and Cys165, which form intersubunit disulfide bonds in the peroxidatic AhpC protein of the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpR) system from Salmonella typhimurium, have been investigated. The AhpR system, composed of AhpC and a flavoprotein reductase, AhpF, catalyzes the pyridine nucleotide-dependent reduction of organic hydroperoxides and hyd...
متن کاملRoles of alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) in viable but nonculturable Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) is the catalytic subunit responsible for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species that form in bacterial cells or are derived from the host; thus, AhpC facilitates the survival of pathogenic bacteria under environmental stresses or during infection. This study investigates the role of AhpC in the induction and maintenance of a viable but noncu...
متن کاملAn iron-regulated alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpC) confers aerotolerance and oxidative stress resistance to the microaerophilic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni.
Microaerophiles like Campylobacter jejuni must resist oxidative stresses during transmission or infection. Growth of C. jejuni 81116 under iron limitation greatly increased the expression of two polypeptides of 26 and 55 kDa. The identification of these proteins by N-terminal amino acid sequencing showed both to be involved in the defense against oxidative stress. The 55-kDa polypeptide was ide...
