ArcA is a global transcription factor required for optimal growth of Escherichia coli during anaerobic growth. In this study, the role of ArcA on the transcriptional regulatory subnetwork of the fad regulon was investigated. Gene expression profiles of deletion mutants (Delta arcA, Delta fadR and Delta arcA/Delta fadR) indicated that (i) ArcA is a major transcription factor for the transcriptional regulation of fatty acid metabolism in the absence of oxygen, and (ii) ArcA and FadR cooperatively…

Crosstalk of Escherichia coli FadR with Global Regulators in Expression of Fatty Acid Transport Genes
Escherichia coli FadR plays two regulatory roles in fatty acid metabolism. FadR represses the fatty acid degradation (fad) system and activates the unsaturated fatty acid synthetic pathway.…
Overlapping Repressor Binding Sites Result in Additive Regulation of Escherichia coli FadH by FadR and ArcA
TLDR
Mapping of the fadH promoter and document its complex regulation by three independent regulators, the fatty acid degradation FadR repressor, the oxygen-responsive ArcA-ArcB two-component system, and the cyclic AMP receptor protein-cyclicAMP (CRP-cAMP) complex.
Global effects of the transcriptional regulators ArcA and FNR in anaerobically grown Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium 14028s.
TLDR
The first report on the global role of these two redox regulators in S. Typhimurium is presented, hypothesize that FNR plays a more heirarchical role than ArcA in pathogenesis and during the transition between aeroand anaerobiosis in the host.
A New Member of the Escherichia coli fad Regulon: Transcriptional Regulation of fadM (ybaW)
TLDR
The high basal level of fadM expression under diverse growth conditions suggests that the encoded thioesterase has functions in addition to beta-oxidation, and it is found that the conjugated linoleic acid isomer was only a weak inducer of f adM expression.
The Bacterial Response Regulator ArcA Uses a Diverse Binding Site Architecture to Regulate Carbon Oxidation Globally
TLDR
This work provides new mechanistic insight into how the balance between reduced and oxidized electron carriers is regulated at the level of gene expression by mapping the regulon of the response regulator ArcA from Escherichia coli, which responds to the quinone/quinol redox couple via its membrane-bound sensor kinase, ArcB.
Analysis of the ArcA regulon in anaerobically grown Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium
TLDR
The results demonstrated that in S. Typhimurium, ArcA serves as a transcriptional regulator coordinating cellular metabolism, flagella biosynthesis, and motility, and a set of 120 genes whose regulation was shared with the anaerobic redox regulator, Fnr.
Escherichia coli Unsaturated Fatty Acid Synthesis
TLDR
Data indicate that the key reaction in UFA synthesis catalyzed by FabB is elongation of the cis-3-decenoyl-ACP produced by FabA, and thioesterases specific for hydrolysis of short chain acyl-ACPs have been followed in vivo for the first time.
TetR-family transcriptional repressor Thermus thermophilus FadR controls fatty acid degradation.
TLDR
Results indicate that in T. thermophilus HB8, medium-to-long straight-chain fatty acids can be used for metabolic energy under the control of FadR, although the major fatty acids found in this strain are iso- and anteiso-branched-chain (C15 and 17) fatty acids.
The Highly Conserved MraZ Protein Is a Transcriptional Regulator in Escherichia coli
TLDR
It is shown that overproduction of Escherichia coli MraZ inhibited cell division and was lethal in rich medium at high induction levels and in minimal medium at low induction levels, suggesting that MRAZ and MraW have antagonistic functions.

Probing the ArcA-P Modulon of Escherichia coli by Whole Genome Transcriptional Analysis and Sequence Recognition Profiling*
TLDR
55 new Arc-regulated operons that are implicated in energy metabolism, transport, survival, catabolism, and transcriptional regulation are identified that suggest that the Arc response pathway, which translates into a net global downscaling of gene expression, overlaps partly with the FNR regulatory network.
Expression of ptsG Encoding the Major Glucose Transporter Is Regulated by ArcA in Escherichia coli*
TLDR
The results suggest that the response regulator ArcA regulates expression of enzyme IICBGlc mediating the first step of glucose metabolism in response to the redox conditions of growth in E. coli.
Transcriptional control mediated by the ArcA two-component response regulator protein of Escherichia coli: characterization of DNA binding at target promoters
TLDR
Electrophoretic mobility shift assays and DNase I protection assays indicate that where the phosphorylated form of the ArcA protein (ArcA-P) is expected to act as a transcriptional repressor, the effect is likely to be mediated by sequestration of cis-controlling transcriptional regulatory elements.
Osmoregulation of the fatty acid receptor gene fadL in Escherichia coli
TLDR
Results suggest that transcription of the fadL gene is osmotically regulated by the OmpREnvZ two-component system.
Role of multiple ArcA recognition sites in anaerobic regulation of succinate dehydrogenase (sdhCDAB ) gene expression in Escherichia coli
TLDR
In vivo studies, in combination with the in vitro studies, indicate that ArcA site 3 is necessary and sufficient for the ArcA‐dependent repression of sdhC gene expression, while the DNA region containingArcA site 2 contributes to maximal gene expression.
Aerobic regulation of isocitrate dehydrogenase gene (icd) expression in Escherichia coli by the arcA and fnr gene products
TLDR
The transcriptional regulation of icd gene expression was monitored by using an icd-lacZ gene fusion and shown to vary over a 15-fold range in response to changes in oxygen and carbon availability, indicating control may be due to variations in cell growth rate rather than to catabolite repression.

TLDR
Complementation tests showed that the arcA gene corresponded to the dye gene, which is also known as fexA, msp, seg, or sfrA because of various phenotypic properties, and a dye-deletion mutant was derepressed in the aerobic enzyme system.
Interplay between three global regulatory proteins mediates oxygen regulation of the Escherichia coli cytochrome d oxidase (cydAB) operon
TLDR
A regulatory model in which oxygen control of cydAB transcription is mediated by three alternative protein–DNA complexes that are assembled sequentially on the promoter region as the cells are shifted from aerobic to microaerobic and to anaerobic conditions is proposed.
Iron and oxygen regulation of Escherichia coli MnSOD expression: competition between the global regulators Fur and ArcA for binding to DNA
TLDR
Competition experiments show that Fur and ArcA binding to the sodA promoter are mutually exclusive and that ArcA can easily displace Fur, but not vice versa, in agreement with in vivo results suggesting that either regulator alone can block sodA transcription.
Purification of ArcA and analysis of is specific interaction with the pfl promoter‐regulatory region
TLDR
Results are congruent with the hypothesis that a higher‐order nucleoprotein complex comprising several proteins, including ArcA, is required to activate transcription from the multiple promoters of the pfl operon.
