Rhizobium etliaerobically respires with several terminal oxidases. The quinol oxidase (Cyo) encoded bycyoABCDis needed for efficient adaptation to low oxygen conditions andcyotranscription is upregulated at low oxygen. This study sought to determine how transcription of thecyooperon is regulated. The 5′ sequence upstream ofcyowas analysedin silicoand revealed putative binding sites for ActR of the ActSR two-component regulatory system. The expression ofcyowas decreased in anactSRmutant regardless of the oxygen condition. As ActSR is known to be important for growth under low pH in another rhizobial species, the effect of growth medium pH oncyoexpression was tested. As the pH of the media was incrementally decreased,cyoexpression gradually increased in the WT, eventually reaching ∼10-fold higher levels at low pH (4.8) compared with neutral pH (7.0) conditions. This upregulation ofcyounder decreasing pH conditions was eliminated in theactSRmutant. Both theactSRandcyomutants had severe growth defects at low pH (4.8). Lastly, theactSRandcyomutants had severe growth defects when grown in media treated with an iron chelator. Under these conditions,cyowas upregulated in the WT, whereascyowas not induced in theactSRmutant. Altogether, the results indicatedcyoexpression is largely dependent on the ActSR two-component system. This study also demonstrated additional physiological roles for Cyo inR. etliCFN42, in which it is the preferred oxidase for growth under acidic and low iron conditions.
