Abstract
Lipid hydroperoxides are highly toxic to biological systems. Here, the Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli sensing and protective systems against linoleic hydroperoxide (LOOH) were investigated by examining the phenotypes, biochemical and regulatory characteristics of various Xanthomonas mutants in known peroxide resistance pathways. Analysis of LOOH resistance levels indicates that both alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpC) and organic hydroperoxide resistance enzyme (Ohr) have important and nonredundant roles in the process. Nonetheless, inactivation of ohr leads to a marked reduction in LOOH resistance levels. The regulatory characteristics of an ohr mutant add further support to its primary role in LOOH protection. Northern analysis shows that LOOH had differential effects on induction of ahpC and ohr expression with the latter being more sensitive to the inducer. Analysis of the ahpC and ohr promoters confirmed that the LOOH-dependent induction of these promoters is mediated by the transcription regulators OxyR and OhrR, respectively. Using the in vivo promoter assays and the in vitro gel mobility shift assay, we show that LOOH directly oxidized OhrR at the sensing residue Cys-22 leading to its inactivation. In addition, physiological analysis shows that pretreatment of X. campestris pv. phaseoli with a sublethal dose of LOOH induced high levels of resistance to subsequent exposure to lethal concentrations of LOOH. This novel LOOH-induced adaptive response requires a functional ohrR-ohr operon. These data illustrate an important novel physiological role for the ohrR-ohr system in sensing and inactivating lipid hydroperoxides. Copyright © 2005, American Society for Microbiology.
