the OxyR-regulated phnW gene encoding enzyme 2-aminoethylphosphonate:pyruvate aminotransferase helps protect Pseudomonas aeruginosa from tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The LysR member of bacterial transactivators, OxyR, governs transcription of genes involved in the response to H2O2 and organic (alkyl) hydroperoxides (AHP) in the Gram-negative pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Analysis of binding of OxyR to the phnW promoter, binding sequence determination, overview. The enzyme PhnW influences the degradation of tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BOOH), but purified does not show a direct ability to degrade t-BOOH in vitro. Tert-butyl-hydroperoxide can cause apoptosis |
