| Note(s): | PdhR was identified by Kaleta et al. (2010) as a negative regulator of lipA, based on consensus sequences, microarrays, and electromobility shift analyses (EMSA) at bp 69 (designated by Feng and Cronan [2014] as lipA site 1) of the lipAp promoter Kaleta C,2010 However, Feng and Cronan (2014) reported that this site is nonfunctional and physiologically irrelevant. The binding detected by Kaleta et al. (2010) is due to another site (lipA site 3) that is located far upstream of the lipAp promoter and which is a half-palindrome with weak PdhR-binding ability Feng Y, Cronan JE,2014 Other possible PdhR-binding degenerate palindromes were identified by Feng and Cronan (2014). One of them is downstream of the lipAp promoter at positions 22 to 38 (lipA site 2) and the other one is at positions -293 to -277 (lipA site 3). All three of these sites were present in the EMSA probe used by Kaleta et al. (2010) and thus could contribute to the weak binding observed Feng Y, Cronan JE,2014 On the other hand, deletion of pdhR did not cause any detectable change in the lipA transcription level for β-galactosidase activity, indicating that PdhR plays no role in regulation of lipA expression Feng Y, Cronan JE,2014 It was concluded that lipA is not controlled by PdhR, based on in vivo and in vitro evidence Feng Y, Cronan JE,2014 |
