The individual and the combined effect of thefnrandarcAregulatory gene products on cytochrome o oxidase and cytochrome d oxidase gene expression inEscherichia coliwere evaluated usinglacZreporter fusions to thecyoABCDEandcydABoperons. Fnr repressedcyolacZandcyd-lacZexpression during anaerobic growth but not during aerobic growth conditions. ArcA functioned as an anaerobic repressor ofcyo-lacZexpression while, in contrast, it activatedcydABexpression during both aerobic and anaerobic growth. ArcA and Fnr appear to function independently of each other to controlcyoABCDEoperon expression. In contrast, FNR repression ofcydABexpression was dependent onarcA+, as indicated by the inability offnr+plasmids to represscyd-lacZexpression in anarcAstrain. Under no conditions tested did Fnr activatecydABexpression. Most, but not all, of the observed aerobic/anaerobic regulation ofcyoandcydwas accounted for by the two transcriptional regulators. These data suggest the existence of additional levels of anaerobic gene control inE. coli. Additionally, the expression of thefnrregulatory gene, and regulation of the anaerobic respiratory genes,narGHJI, dmsABCandfrdABCD, was found to be independent of ArcA.
