Time course transcriptomic profiling suggests Crp/Fnr transcriptional regulation of nosZ gene in a N₂O-reducing thermophile.

ABSTRACT: Nitrosophilus labii HRV44^T is a thermophilic chemolithoautotroph possessing clade II type nitrous oxide (N₂O) reductase (NosZ) that has an outstanding activity in reducing N₂O to dinitrogen gas. Here, we attempt to understand molecular responses of HRV44^T to N₂O. Time course transcriptome and proteomic mass spectrometry analyses under anaerobic conditions revealed that most of transcripts and peptides related to denitrification were constitutively detected, even in the absence of any nitrogen oxides as electron acceptors. Gene expressions involved in electron transport to NosZ were upregulated within 3 h in response to N₂O, rather than upregulation of nos genes. Two genes encoding Crp/Fnr transcriptional regula
