Cell–cell signaling in Xanthomonas campestris involves an HD-GYP domain protein that functions in cyclic di-GMP turnover
Robert P. Ryan,Yvonne Fouhy,Jean F. Lucey,Lisa Crossman,Stephen Spiro,Ya Wen He,Lian-Hui Zhang,Stephan Heeb,Miguel Cámara,Paul Williams,J. Maxwell Dow +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of RpfG is to degrade the unusual nucleotide cyclic di-GMP, an activity associated with the HD-GYP domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional, biochemical and genetic diversity of prokaryotic nitrate reductases
TL;DR: Analysis of prokaryotic genome sequences available at the time of writing reveals that the different nitrate reductases are phylogenetically widespread.
Journal ArticleDOI
FNR and its role in oxygen-regulated gene expression in Escherichia coli
Stephen Spiro,John R. Guest +1 more
TL;DR: It is clear that oxygen functions as a regulatory signal controlling several important aspects of mitcrobial physiology, and further studies should reveal the molecular basis of the mechanism by which changes in oxygen tension are sensed.
Journal ArticleDOI
FNR and its role in oxygen-regulated gene expression in
Stephen Spiro,John R. Guest +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to summarize what is known about FNR, the transcriptional regulator which is essential for expressing anaerobic respiratory processes in E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
A non-haem iron centre in the transcription factor NorR senses nitric oxide
TL;DR: The mechanism of NorR reveals an unprecedented biological role for a non-haem mononitrosyl–iron complex in NO sensing, and contains a mononuclear non- haem iron centre, which reversibly binds NO.
