FEMS Microbiol Rev 24:135-75. 2000..Our increasing knowledge of the sulfur-regulated metabolism of organosulfur compounds suggests applications in practical fields such as biodesulfurization, bioremediation, and optimization of crop sulfur nutrition...
A novel reduced flavin mononucleotide-dependent methanesulfonate sulfonatase encoded by the sulfur-regulated msu operon of Pseudomonas aeruginosaM A Kertesz
Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, CH 8092 Zurich, Switzerland
J Bacteriol 181:1464-73. 1999....- Desulfonation of aliphatic sulfonates by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAOM A Kertesz
Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, Zurich, Switzerland
FEMS Microbiol Lett 137:221-5. 1996..Desulfonation of alkanesulfonates to provide sulfur was repressed by sulfate or thiocyanate, and derepressed in their absence. The alkanesulfonatase system is hence controlled as part of the sulfate starvation-induced stimulon... - Characterization of a sulfur-regulated oxygenative alkylsulfatase from Pseudomonas putida S-313A Kahnert
Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, CH 8092 Zurich, Switzerland
J Biol Chem 275:31661-7. 2000..The properties and amino acid sequence of the AtsK enzyme thus define it as an unusual oxygenolytic alkylsulfatase and a novel member of the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family... - Involvement of CysB and Cbl regulatory proteins in expression of the tauABCD operon and other sulfate starvation-inducible genes in Escherichia coliJ R van der Ploeg
Mikrobiologisches Institut, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, Zurich
J Bacteriol 179:7671-8. 1997..These results indicate that Cbl is a transcription factor for genes required for sulfonate-sulfur utilization and maybe for other genes whose expression is induced by sulfate starvation... - Characterization of alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent taurine dioxygenase from Escherichia coliE Eichhorn
Mikrobiologisches Institut, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, CH 8092 Zurich, Switzerland
J Biol Chem 272:23031-6. 1997..Among the cosubstrates tested, only alpha-ketoglutarate (Km = 11 microM) supported significant dioxygenase activity... - The ssu locus plays a key role in organosulfur metabolism in Pseudomonas putida S-313A Kahnert
Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, CH 8092 Zurich, Switzerland
J Bacteriol 182:2869-78. 2000..Aryl sulfate ester utilization was catalyzed by an arylsulfotransferase, and not by an arylsulfatase as in the related species Pseudomonas aeruginosa... - Regulation of the sulfate starvation response in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: role of cysteine biosynthetic intermediatesJ Hummerjohann
Institutes of Microbiology and Biochemistry, Zurich, Switzerland
Microbiology 144:1375-86. 1998..This suggests that there are at least two independent corepressors of the sulfate starvation response in this species... - Proteins induced by sulfate limitation in Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, or Staphylococcus aureusM A Kertesz
Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, Zurich
J Bacteriol 175:1187-90. 1993..aureus was seen to increase by up to 140-fold, suggesting that the proteins induced under these conditions may be involved in sulfur metabolism. We propose that these proteins are members of a sulfate starvation-induced stimulon... - The assimilation of sulfur from multiple sources and its correlation with expression of the sulfate-starvation-induced stimulon in Pseudomonas putida S-313S Beil
Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland
Microbiology 142:1989-95. 1996..The data are considered to reflect the control of scavenging for sulfur and of distribution of sulfur in the cell exerted by the sulfate-starvation-induced stimulon... - Identification of sulfate starvation-regulated genes in Escherichia coli: a gene cluster involved in the utilization of taurine as a sulfur sourceJ R van der Ploeg
Mikrobiologisches Institut, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, Zurich, Switzerland
J Bacteriol 178:5438-46. 1996..The transcription initiation site was detected 26 to 27 bp upstream of the translational start site of tauA. Expression of the tauD gene was dependent on CysB, the transcriptional activator of the cysteine regulon... - Construction of improved plasmid vectors for promoter characterization in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other gram-negative bacteriaM Rist
Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum, Zurich, Switzerland
FEMS Microbiol Lett 169:179-83. 1998..In the absence of an inserted promoter fragment, they display very low background activity, making them a useful tool for analysis of low expression level promoters... - Genetic organization of sulphur-controlled aryl desulphonation in Pseudomonas putida S-313P Vermeij
Mikrobiologisches Institut, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zentrum LFV, CH 8092 Zurich, Switzerland
Mol Microbiol 32:913-26. 1999..AsfR was a negative regulator of asfABC expression, and toluenesulphonate induced expression of these genes indirectly by reducing the expression of the asfR gene... - Purification and characterization of the arylsulfatase synthesized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO during growth in sulfate-free medium and cloning of the arylsulfatase gene (atsA)S Beil
Institute of Microbiology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich
