E1 component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex does not regulate the expression of NADPH-ferredoxin reductase in Azotobacter vinelandii. Abstract Text:
In Azotobacter vinelandii, the E1 component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHE1) is proposed to be a key regulatory protein in an oxidative stress management system that responds to superoxide. This proposal was tested by constructing an A. vinelandii mutant that had a disruption of aceE gene encoding PDHE1. This mutant exhibited wild-type exponential growth and a normal response to oxidative stress induced by paraquat. Electrophoretic mobility-shift assays revealed that a protein previously shown to bind to a paraquat-activatable DNA promoter was still present in the extract prepared from the mutant, implying that the protein cannot be PDHE1. These observations strongly contradict the previous claim that PDHE1 is a DNA-binding protein that is directly involved in the A. vinelandii oxidative stress-regulatory system.
