摘要: Burkholderia pseudomallei, a pathogenic gram-negative bacterium, causes the severe human disease melioidosis. This organism can survive in eukaryotic host cells by escaping reactive oxygen species via regulation of stress responsive sigma factors, including RpoS. In B. RpoS has been reported to play role oxidative response through enhanced activity OxyR and catalase. this study, dependent system was further characterized using comparative proteomic analysis. The profiles wild-type pseudomallei following exposure H2O2 between rpoS mutant strains were analyzed. Using stringent criteria, 13 proteins, eight which are regulated RpoS, identified with high confidence. It observed that ScoA, subunit SCOT enzyme not previously shown be involved directly response, is significantly down-regulated after hydrogen peroxide treatment. ScoA ScoB have predicted organized single operon computational methods: study it confirmed RT-PCR these genes indeed co-transcribed as mRNA. present first report for down-regulation expression pseudomallei.
