Intergenic evolution during host adaptation increases expression of the metallophore pseudopaline in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Regulating intracellular levels of biological metal ions is essential for all bacterial species, as they are needed for virulence and a range of metabolic processes. Zinc is the second most abundant metal ion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but little is known about its regulation. Recent studies have identified a novel operon, zrmABCD (also called cntOLMI), encoding a metallophore system (pseudopaline) involved in zinc acquisition. Expression of this operon has been implicated in human infections and is regulated by the transcriptional regulator Zur (Zn Topics: Adaptation, Physiological; Binding Sites; Cystic Fibrosis; DNA-Binding Proteins; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial; Ion Transport; Oligopeptides; Polymorphism, Genetic; Promoter Regions, Genetic; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Pseudomonas Infections; Zinc | 2018 |
