Abstract
Crc (catabolite repression control) protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has shown to be involved in carbon regulation of several pathways. In this study, the role of Crc in catabolite repression control has been studied in Pseudomonas putida. The bkd operons of P. putida and P. aeruginosa encode the inducible multienzyme complex branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, which is regulated in both species by catabolite repression. We report here that this effect is mediated in both species by Crc. A 13-kb cloned DNA fragment containing the P. putida crc gene region was sequenced. Crc regulates the expression of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and amidase in both species but not urocanase, although the carbon sources responsible for catabolite repression in the two species differ. Transposon mutants affected in their expression of BkdR, the transcriptional activator of the bkd operon, were isolated and identified as crc and vacB (rnr) mutants. These mutants suggested that catabolite repression in pseudomonads might, in part, involve control of BkdR levels. Originally published Journal of Bacteriology, Vol. 182, No. 4, Feb 2000
