The cydD gene of Escherichia coli encodes a protein which, together with the CydC protein, probably constitutes a heterodimeric, ABC-family membrane transporter, necessary for biosynthesis of the cytochrome bd quinol oxidase. Here, we demonstrate that a cydD mutant also fails to synthesise periplasmic c-type cytochrome(s), suggesting that the transporter exports haem or some other component involved in assembly of cytochromes that are found in, or exposed to, the periplasm. The CydDC system appears to be the first example of a transporter required for periplasmic cytochrome assembly processes requiring more than one type of haem. A mutant defective in trxB (adjacent to the cydDC operon, and encoding thioredoxin reductase) was unaffected in cytochrome c or bd assembly.

The iron-containing porphyrin heme is of high interest for the food industry for the production of artificial meat as well as for medical applications. Recently, the biotechnological platform strain Corynebacterium glutamicum has emerged as a promising host for animal-free heme production. Beyond engineering of complex heme biosynthetic pathways, improving heme export offers significant yet untapped potential for enhancing production strains.

In cells of Escherichia coli, terminal oxidase bd-I encoded by the cydAB gene catalyzes the reduction of O2 to water using hydroquinone as an electron donor. In addition to the cydAB operon, two other genes, cydC and cydD, encoding the heterodimeric ATP-binding cassette-type transporter are essential for the assembly of cytochrome bd-I. It was shown that inactivation of cytochrome bd-I by the introduction of cydB or cydD deletions into the E.

Although glutathione (GSH) has been shown to influence the antimicrobial effects of many kinds of antibiotics, little is known about its role in relation to trimethoprim (TMP), a widely used antifolate. In this study, several genes related to glutathione metabolism were deleted in different Escherichia coli strains (i.e.

Aerobically growing Escherichia coli generates superoxide flux into the periplasm via the oxidation of dihydromenaquinone and simultaneously carries out continuous transmembrane cycling of glutathione (GSH). Here we have shown that, under the conditions of a gradual decrease in dissolved oxygen (dO), characteristic of batch culture, the global regulatory system ArcB/ArcA can play an important role in the coordinated control of extracellular superoxide and GSH fluxes and their interaction with intracellular antioxidant systems. The lowest superoxide production was observed in the menA and arcB mutants, while the atpA, atpC and atpE mutants generated superoxide 1.
