The bacterial response regulator ArcA uses a diverse binding site architecture to regulate carbon oxidation globally. by Dan M Park, Md Sohail Akhtar, Aseem Z Ansari, Robert Landick, Patricia J Kiley

“…Here we provide new mechanistic insight into how the balance between reduced and oxidized electron carriers is regulated at the level of gene expression by mapping the regulon of the response regulator ArcA from Escherichia coli, which responds to the quinone/quinol redox couple via its membrane-bound sensor kinase, ArcB. Our genome-wide analysis reveals that ArcA reprograms metabolism under anaerobic conditions such that carbon oxidation pathways that recycle redox carriers via respiration are transcriptionally repressed by ArcA. …”
