Two-component system that regulates methanol and formaldehyde oxidation in Paracoccus denitrificans.
A chromosomal region encoding a two-component regulatory system, FlhRS, has been isolated from Paracoccus denitrificans. FlhRS-deficient mutants were unable to grow on methanol, methylamine, or choline as the carbon and energy source. Expression of the gene encoding glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (fhlA) was undetectable in the mutant, and expression of the S-formylglutathione ...
متن کاملThe periplasmic modifier protein for methanol dehydrogenase in the methylotrophs Methylophilus methylotrophus and Paracoccus denitrificans.
A modifier protein (M-protein), which increases the affinity of methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) for alcohols but decreases its affinity for formaldehyde, has been partially purified from Methylophilus methylotrophus and Paracoccus denitrificans. Analysis was complicated by non-protein factors in bacterial extracts that are able to mimic M-protein in one of its functions-that of increasing the acti...
متن کاملA glutathione-dependent formaldehyde-activating enzyme (Gfa) from Paracoccus denitrificans detected and purified via two-dimensional proton exchange NMR spectroscopy.
The formation of S-hydroxymethylglutathione from formaldehyde and glutathione is a central reaction in the consumption of the cytotoxin formaldehyde in some methylotrophic bacteria as well as in many other organisms. We describe here the discovery of an enzyme from Paracoccus denitrificans that accelerates this spontaneous condensation reaction. The rates of S-hydroxymethylglutathione formation...
متن کاملZinc-Dependent Transcriptional Regulation in Paracoccus denitrificans
Zinc homeostasis is critical for bacterial survival and is mediated largely at the transcriptional level by the regulation of zinc uptake and efflux genes. Here we use RNA-seq to assess transcriptional changes as a result of zinc limitation in the denitrifying bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans. The results identify the differential expression of 147 genes, most of which were upregulated in zin...
متن کاملStudies on the Glutathione-Dependent Formaldehyde-Activating Enzyme from Paracoccus denitrificans
Formaldehyde is a toxin and carcinogen that is both an environmental pollutant and an endogenous metabolite. Formaldehyde metabolism, which is probably essential for all aerobic cells, likely proceeds via multiple mechanisms, including via a glutathione-dependent pathway that is widely conserved in bacteria, plants and animals. However, it is unclear whether the first step in the glutathione-de...
