PdhR DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator

Synonyms: PdhR-pyruvate, PdhR
Summary:
PdhR, "pyruvate dehydrogenase complex regulator," regulates genes involved in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex [2, 6, 8, 9] Moreover, PdhR participates in positive regulation of fatty acid degradation genes and negative regulation of cell mobility genes. Gas chromatography analysis indicated an increase in free fatty acids in a mutant lacking PdhR [6] Activity of PdhR is controlled by pyruvate. In the absence of this compound, the PdhR regulator binds to its target promoters [6] This binding is antagonized by pyruvate [1, 2, 6] PdhR activates a set of genes for fatty acid degradation only in the absence of effector pyruvate. Therefore, the activation of the fatty acid degradation genes by PdhR could be lost in the presence of pyruvate. Likewise, RpoF-regulated synthesis of flagellar components is also controlled by the pyruvate-sensing PdhR. In the absence of PdhR, the expression level of the flagellar component increased, indicating a new model in which the level of flagella is controlled by the level of pyruvate [6] PdhR controls the synthesis of two key enzymes (Ndh and CyoA) in the terminal electron transport system [1] the enzymes for producing pyruvate and the enzymes involved in the utilization of pyruvate as a substrate [6] The pdhR deletion mutant enhanced glucose metabolism under oxygen-limited conditions.
