Genome-wide characterization of the Fur regulatory network reveals a link between catechol degradation and bacillibactin metabolism in Bacillus subtilis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The goal of this study is to obtain a genomic view of the Fur regulatory network under both iron replete and iron deficient conditions in Bacillus subtilis using ChIP-seq. Besides the known Fur target sites, 70 putative DNA binding sites were identified, and the vast majority had higher occupancy under iron sufficient conditions. In addition,we discovered a role for catechol degradation in bacillibactin metabolism, and provided evidence that catechol 2,3-dioxygenase can detoxify endogenously produced catechol substrates in addition to its more widely studied role in biodegradation of environmental aromatic compounds and pollutants.
