(R,R)-tartrate hydro-lyase (oxaloacetate-forming)
The enzyme exists in an inactive low-molecular-mass form, which is converted into active enzyme in the presence of Fe2+ and thiol. cf. EC 4.2.1.81 D(-)-tartrate dehydratase.
Substrates: anaerobic growth of Escherichia coli on D-tartrate depends on the fumarate carrier DcuB and fumarase, rather than the L-tartrate carrier TtdT and L-tartrate dehydratase Products: -

EXPRESSION

UNIPROT
LITERATURE
expression of plasmid-encoded ttdA'-'lacZ is stimulated to a high level (64fold) by L-tartrate during anaerobic growth. meso-Tartrate causes slightly lower (47.5fold) induction. During aerobic growth, expression of ttdA'-'lacZ is very low in the presence or absence of L-tartrate, and it increases by a factor of about 220 under anaerobic conditions. Expression of ttdA requires transcriptional activation by fumarate nitrate reductase regulator (FNR), which is in the active state only under anaerobic conditions
expression of ttdA is repressed by O2 in an FNR-dependent manner. Presence of nitrate strongly represses ttdA. When glucose is present in addition to L-tartrate, expression of ttdA'-'lacZ is decreased to 24% of the L-tartrate-induced state
