... (encoding trans -aconitate methyltransferase) and sacA (encoding aconitase); up-regulation of these genes promotes metabolic flux through the citric acid cycle. DNA binding by TamR is attenuated and transcriptional derepression is achieved on binding of ligands such as citrate and trans -aconitate to TamR...

... expression of the acnA and acnB genes, AcnA has been designated as an aerobic-stationary-phase enzyme that is specifically induced by iron and oxidative stress, whereas AcnB functions as the major citric-acid-cycle enzyme during exponential growth. The biochemical and kinetic properties of the purified...
