The Bradyrhizobium japonicum Proline Biosynthesis Gene proC Is Essential for Symbiosis

King, Natalie D., Hojnacki, David, O'Brian, Mark R.

Plant host-derived proline is proposed to serve as an energy source for rhizobia in the rhizosphere and in symbiotic root nodules. The Bradyrhizobium japonicum proC gene was isolated, and a proC...

RhuR, an Extracytoplasmic Function Sigma Factor Activator, Is Essential for Heme-Dependent Expression of the Outer Membrane Heme and Hemoprotein Receptor of Bordetella avium

Kirby, Amy E., King, Natalie D., Connell, Terry D.

Genes involved in iron (Fe) acquisition often are regulated in response to the local availability of Fe. In many bacteria, Fe-dependent responsiveness is mediated by Fur, a global Fe-dependent...

Transcriptional Control of the rhuIR-bhuRSTUV Heme Acquisition Locus in Bordetella avium

King, Natalie D., Kirby, Amy E., Connell, Terry D.

Iron (Fe) is an essential nutrient for most bacterial pathogens. In these organisms, a variety of regulatory systems that respond to specific Fe complexes found within their vertebrate hosts have...

Analysis of a Heme-Dependent Signal Transduction System in Corynebacterium diphtheriae: Deletion of the chrAS Genes Results in Heme Sensitivity and Diminished Heme-Dependent Activation of the hmuO Promoter

Bibb, Lori A., King, Natalie D., Kunkle, Carey A., Schmitt, Michael P.

The Corynebacterium diphtheriae hmuO gene encodes a heme oxygenase that is involved in the utilization of heme as an iron source. Transcription of hmuO is activated by heme or hemoglobin and...

Comparison of the Genome Sequence of the Poultry Pathogen Bordetella avium with Those of B. bronchiseptica, B. pertussis, and B. parapertussis Reveals Extensive Diversity in Surface Structures Associated with Host Interaction

Sebaihia, Mohammed, Preston, Andrew, Maskell, Duncan J., Kuzmiak, Holly, Connell, Terry D., King, Natalie D., ...

Bordetella avium is a pathogen of poultry and is phylogenetically distinct from Bordetella bronchiseptica, Bordetella pertussis, and Bordetella parapertussis, which are other species in the...
