ABSTRACT
Oxidative damage caused by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the main obstacles to the improvement of microbial cell growth and fermentation characteristics under adverse environments. And the antioxidant capacity of cells will increase with the cell growth. Here, we found that a transition state transcription factor AbrB related to changes in cell growth status could regulate the accumulation of ROS and antioxidant capacity in Bacillus licheniformis. The results showed that the accumulation of intracellular ROS was reduced by 23.91â¯% and the cell survival rates were increased by 1.77-fold under 0.5â¯mM H2O2 when AbrB was knocked out. We further mapped regulatory target genes of AbrB related to ROS generation or clearance based on our previously analyzed transcriptome sequencing. It proved that AbrB could promote ROS generation via upregulating the synthesis of oxidase and siderophores, and negatively regulating the synthesis of iron chelators (pulcherriminic acid, and H2S). Additionally, AbrB could inhibit ROS clearance by negatively regulating the synthesis of antioxidase (superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase) and cysteine. Those results illustrated that the inactivation of AbrB during the stationary phase, along with its control over ROS generation and clearance, might represent a vital self-protection mechanism during cell evolution. Overall, the systematic investigation of the multi-pathway regulation network of ROS generation and clearance highlights the important function of AbrB in maintaining intracellular redox balance.
