NorR; nitric oxide; Escherichia coli; flavorubredoxin gene regulation
NorR is a nitric oxide sensor that in Escherichia coli regulates the gene encoding for flavorubredoxin, an enzyme involved in nitrosative detoxification. The present work shows that although purified NorR can bind independently to each of three binding sites in the flavorubredoxin gene promoter, the presence of all sites is required for in vivo nitric oxide-dependent induction of the flavorubredoxin gene, Furthermore, trimerization of NorR upon binding to the three sites was observed by protein cross-linking experiments. These results reveal the importance of the multiple DNA binding sites present on NorR-dependent promoters and suggest that the functional form of NorR is a trimer. (C) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
