Shigella flexneripossesses at least two putative high-affinity manganese acquisition systems, SitABCD and MntH. Mutations in the genes encoding the components of both of these systems were constructed inS. flexneri. ThesitA mntHmutant showed reduced growth, relative to the wild type, in Luria broth (L broth) containing the divalent metal chelator ethylene diamino-o-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid, and the addition of either iron or manganese restored growth to the level of the wild-type strain. Although thesitA mntHmutant was not defective in surviving exposure to superoxide generators, it was defective in surviving exposure to hydrogen peroxide. ThesitA mntHmutant formed wild-type plaques on Henle cell monolayers but had a reduced ability to survive in activated macrophage lines. Expression of theS. flexneri sitandmntHpromoters was higher whenShigellawas in Henle cells than when it was in L broth. Expression of both thesitandmntHpromoters was repressed by either iron or manganese, and this repression was partially dependent upon Fur and MntR, respectively. ThemntHpromoter, but not thesitpromoter, exhibited OxyR-dependent induction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
