Roles of the rpoEc-chrR-chrA operon in superoxide tolerance and β-lactam susceptibility of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by Ren-Hsuan Ku, Hsu-Feng Lu, Li-Hua Li, Li-Hua Li, Ting-Yu Yeh, Yi-Tsung Lin, Yi-Tsung Lin, Tsuey-Ching Yang

“…Inactivation of chrR upregulated the expression of rpoEc-chrR-chrA operon in an σEc- and ChrA-dependent manner. σEc activation contributed to superoxide tolerance and increased β-lactam susceptibility but did not affect the tolerance to singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Transcriptome analysis revealed that expression of the nine-gene cluster, smlt2375-smlt2367, was significantly upregulated in KJΔChrR and reverted to the wild-type level in KJΔChrRΔRpoEc. smlt2375-smlt2367 cluster was located upstream of the rpoEc-chrR-chrA operon and divergently transcribed, seeming to be involved in membrane lipid modification. …”
