Corynebacterium glutamicumhas a branched respiratory chain: one of the branches is cytochromebcccomplex and cytochromeaa3-type cytochromecoxidase, and the other is cytochromebd-type menaquinol oxidase. The factors that influence the expression patterns of these respiratory enzymes remain unclear. To investigate the expressional control mechanism of the enzymes, we have previously constructed a promoter assay system utilizing enhanced green fluorescence protein. Here, we monitored respiratory enzymes’ expression by using this system during growth in various culture media, with and without Cu2+ion supplementation. The promoter activities of cytochromeaa3oxidase in the early stationary phase in the media supplemented with Cu2+ion at 40 or 400 μM were significantly increased 1.49-fold or 1.99-fold, respectively, as compared to the control. Moreover, the H+/O ratio, or the proton-pumping activity of the cells, increased about 1.6 times by the Cu2+supplementation. These facts indicate that copper ions can switch the branches.
