Gene(s): gadW   Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS
Note(s): Genes involved in the gad (gadABCDEWX) system are common under many adverse conditions, as determined by microarray analyses and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. Although they are known to be important for the acid stress response, it has also been shown that part of this system is also upregulated by NaCl, cold stress, ethanol, and heat stress |CITS:[19767843]|.
The sequence of the putative stem-loop structure located 334 nt downstream of the gadW stop codon reportedly may function as a rho-independent terminator |CITS:[18808381]|; however, the putative terminator sequence was not shown in the paper.
The expression of the gene gadW is increased under acidic growth conditions in either aerobiosis or microaerobiosis |CITS:[23274360]|.

Although they are known to be important for the acid stress response, it has also been shown that part of this system is also upregulated by NaCl, cold stress, ethanol, and heat stress |CITS:[19767843]|.
The expression of the gadW gene was induced by SidA in the presence of N-(3-oxo-hexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (AHL) at 30 C, although the expression was negatively responsive in the presence of ethyl acetate (EA) at 37 C |CITS:[20126629]|. It is not known if the regulation of the gadW gene by SdiA is dependent on the gadWp1 or gadWp2 promoter or both.
The transcription of gadW appears to be increased under acidic growth conditions during the exponential phase in a RcsB-dependent manner, but not during stationary phase |CITS:[21571995][23274360]|. However, it is not known which of the three promoters that transcribe this gene is affected by RcsB.
The sequence of the putative stem-loop structure located 334 nt downstream of the gadW stop codon reportedly may function as a rho-independent terminator |CITS:[18808381]|; however, the putative terminator sequence was not shown in the paper.

Note(s): Genes involved in the gad (gadABCDEWX) system are common under many adverse conditions, as determined by microarray analyses and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. Although they are known to be important for the acid stress response, it has also been shown that part of this system is also upregulated by NaCl, cold stress, ethanol, and heat stress |CITS:[19767843]|.
Basal GadE activity is required for activation of gadA and gadBC expression during stationary-phase growth |CITS:[17185552]|.
The transcription of gadAX appears to be increased under acidic growth conditions during stationary and exponential phases in a RcsB-dependent manner |CITS:[21571995][23274360]|.
RcsB activity through both the RcsCD phosphorelay pathway and the RcsA pathway lowers the acid resistance |CITS:[17185552]|. The role of this negative regulation might be to prevent costly runaway expression of the gad genes or to shut off the response, once the acid stress is over |CITS:[17185552]|.
Indole enhances the expression of several genes related to acid resistance, such as gadA, gadB, gadC, hdeA, hdeB, hdeD, slp, and gadE |CITS:[20470880]|. The acid resistance phenotype induced by indoles is mainly due to increased expression of the glutamine decarboxylase system |CITS:[20470880]|.
The gadAp promoter is strongly induced by GreA overproduction only when DksA is absent, as are many other genes |CITS: [22056927]|. gadA is induced during biofilm formation |CITS:[15795232][12657059]|.

Note(s): 1ArcA appears to activate gadAX operon expression under anaerobiosis. A putative ArcA-binding site was identified 567 bp upstream of this operon Salmon KA,2005, but the sequence was not shown.1This potential site could belong to the CRP regulator, since it possesses 9 of the 16 consensus nucleotides associated with CRP binding Castanie-Cornet MP,2001. GadE and CRP bind to this site, controlling gadA expression during growth both under acidic conditions and in stationary phase.1GadE is required both for gadA/gadBC expression during exponential growth and stationary-phase expression. GadE is an acid-induced regulator since it is involved in the acid induction of gadA/gadBC operons during exponential growth. The expression of these operons may be one of the most intensively regulated systems in Escherichia coli, since it is regulated by different factors. GadE and GadX may simultaneously bind to the GAD box region of gadA/gadBC and form a complex Ma Z,2003.7GadW regulates positively the expression of gadA in the absence of GadX only to pH 8 Ma Z,2002.
8GadW regulates positively the expression of gadA in the absence of GadX only to pH 8 Ma Z,2002.1Two large footprinting regions for Hns binding, which are necessary for full repression, were identified around the regulatory region of the gadAp promoter (from +43 to -55 and from -86 to -133). These regions may contain sites for several Hns molecules, but these specific sites have not been identified Giangrossi M,2005
The RNA polymerase binding to the gadAp promoter can be prevented by the Hns protein which binds around the promoter region. Also, on the same region GadX can bind, competing with Hns for the same site; even GadX can remove the already-bound Hns Giangrossi M,2005.4GadW regulates positively the expression of gadA in the absence of GadX only to pH 8 Ma Z,2002.
