Disease relevance of pvdE

Characterisation of the pvdE gene which is required for pyoverdine synthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [1].

High impact information on pvdE

Two divergent PvdS-dependent promoters (pvdE and pvdF) were characterized by deletion analysis, and the minimal promoter region for each included a sequence element, the iron starvation (IS) box, that is present in other pvd promoters [2].
The first mutant, which had an insertion in the pvdE gene, upstream of fpvA, was unable to take up type II PVD and showed resistance to pyocin S3, which is known to use type II FpvA as receptor [3].
