Display the reaction diagram Show all sequences 2.6.1.37malfunction gene phnW, encoding 2-aminoethylphosphonate:pyruvate aminotransferase, exhibits reduced expression in the oxyR mutant compared to wild-type bacteria. A phnW mutant is more susceptible to tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BOOH) treatment than wild-type bacteria. This may be due to a reduced efficiency for this strain to degrade t-BOOH relative to wild-type organisms because of modulation of AHP gene transcription in the phnW mutant. Provision of the phnW gene in trans can also protect a strain lacking AhpC and Ohr proteins (ohr ahpC mutant), that have previously been shown to be highly susceptible to organic hydroperoxides including t-BOOH. The phnW mutant degrades only 55% of the t-BOOH compared to the 80% degradation observed in wild-type bacteria at the end of assay -, 760032
Display the reaction diagram Show all sequences 2.6.1.37physiological function 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 -, 760032
