This mitigation of oxidative stress was suggested to be an important survival mechanism to achieve antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in many pathogenic bacteria. CyuR (known as DecR or YbaO) is a recently characterized Cys-dependent transcription regulator, responsible for the activation of the\n                  <jats:italic>cyuAP<\/jats:italic>\n                  operon and generation of hydrogen sulfide from Cys. Despite its potential importance, the regulatory network of CyuR remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the roles of the CyuR regulon in a Cys-dependent AMR mechanism in\n                  <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                  strains. We found: 1) Cys metabolism has a significant role in AMR and its effect is conserved in many\n                  <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                  strains, including clinical isolates; 2) CyuR negatively controls the expression of\n                  <jats:italic>mdlAB<\/jats:italic>\n                  encoding a transporter that exports antibiotics such as cefazolin and vancomycin; 3) CyuR binds to a DNA sequence motif \u2018GAAwAAATTGTxGxxATTTsyCC\u2019 in the absence of Cys, confirmed by an\n                  <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                  binding assay; and 4) CyuR may regulate 25 additional genes as suggested by\n                  <jats:italic>in silico<\/jats:italic>\n                  motif scanning and transcriptome sequencing. Collectively, our findings expanded the understanding of the biological roles of CyuR relevant to antibiotic resistance associated with Cys.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/2023.05.16.541025","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,17]],"date-time":"2023-05-17T01:05:23Z","timestamp":1684285523000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["CyuR is a Dual Regulator for L-Cysteine Dependent Antimicrobial Resistance in\n                  <i>Escherichia coli<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"given":"Irina A.","family":"Rodionova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyun Gyu","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dmitry A","family":"Rodionov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Hutchison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Dalldorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Monk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2357-6785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bernhard O.","family":"Palsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2023051820401008000_2023.05.16.541025v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"677","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tim.2018.01.005","article-title":"Evolutionary Mechanisms Shaping the Maintenance of Antibiotic Resistance","volume":"26","year":"2018","journal-title":"Trends Microbiol"},{"key":"2023051820401008000_2023.05.16.541025v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1401876111"},{"key":"2023051820401008000_2023.05.16.541025v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2007.06.049"},{"key":"2023051820401008000_2023.05.16.541025v1.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1209855"},{"key":"2023051820401008000_2023.05.16.541025v1.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.abd8377"},{"key":"2023051820401008000_2023.05.16.541025v1.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/abbi.1999.1518"},{"key":"2023051820401008000_2023.05.16.541025v1.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"731","DOI":"10.1021\/acschembio.1c00027","article-title":"Cysteine Hydropersulfide Inactivates \u03b2-Lactam Antibiotics with Formation of Ring-Opened Carbothioic S-Acids in Bacteria","volume":"16","year":"2021","journal-title":"ACS Chem.
