Values of protein indicate relative levels of protein in the crc mutant relative to levels in the wild type strain. Some genes are proximal to, and possibly in operons with, bioinformatically predicted Crc targets: (a) PA2553 is proximal to PA2555, (b) PA3187 is proximal to PA3186 and (c)
PA4502 and PA4506 are proximal to PA4501. A proteomic Dapagliflozin analysis comparing the wild type strain P. aeruginosa PAO1 to an isogenic crc mutant in LB broth was also learn more recently performed [27]. Under these conditions, 46 proteins were present at higher levels in the crc mutant compared to the wild type strain, suggesting that these targets are negatively regulated by the CRC system. Comparing those 46 experimentally-identified targets with the 215 predicted Crc targets identified in our bioinformatic study, it is seen that 13 of the 46 targets overlap (Table 3). Of these, 9 common targets have a predicted Crc binding site in the gene itself and a further 4 targets are in operons downstream of predicted Crc targets (Table 3). When the comparison
is expanded to include all 279 candidates identified in PAO1 no new matches were found. The authors of that study identified putative Crc-binding sites in the 5′ region of 23 of the 46 genes, and suggested that these may be subject to direct Crc mediated regulation [27]. The criteria applied for identifying putative Crc-binding sites was less strict than our study (with respect to consensus and distance from AUG codon), which explains the difference between the 13 binding sites we propose and the 23 postulated by these authors. The fact that 18/23 overlaps are in the core P. putida regulon (and a further 2 are only excluded because orthologues are absent) and that no new overlaps with experimental data are introduced when the predicted Crc-regulon of P.
