CatR, a peroxide-sensing transcriptional repressor of Fur
family, can de-repress the transcription of the catA gene encoding
catalase upon peroxide stress in Streptomyces coelicolor.
Since CatR-regulated genes other than catA and its own
gene catR have not been identified in detail, the understanding
of the role of CatR regulon is very limited. In this study,
we performed transcriptomic analysis to identify genes influenced
by both atR mutation and hydrogen peroxide treatment.
Through ChIP-qPCR and other analyses, a new consensus
sequence was found in CatR-responsive promoter region
of catR gene and catA operon for direct regulation. In
addition, vtlA (SCO2027) and SCO4983 were identified as new
members of the CatR regulon. Expression levels of iron uptake
genes were reduced by hydrogen peroxide and a DmdR1 binding
sequence was identified in promoters of these genes. The
increase in free iron by hydrogen peroxide was thought to
suppress the iron import system by DmdR1. A putative exporter
protein VtlA regulated by CatR appeared to reduce intracellular
iron to prevent oxidative stress. The name vtlA
(VIT1-like transporter) was proposed for iron homeostasis
related gene SCO2027.
