The NorR protein of Escherichia coli activates expression of the flavorubredoxin gene norV in response to reactive nitrogen species.

The Escherichia coli norVW genes encode a flavorubredoxin and NADH:(flavo)rubredoxin reductase, respectively, which are involved in nitric oxide detoxification under anaerobic growth conditions. Here it is shown that the norVW genes also have a role in protection against reactive nitrogen intermediates generated from nitroprusside. Transcription from the norV promoter is activated by the presence of nitroprusside in the growth medium; activation requires the product of a divergently transcribed regulatory gene, norR.[1]
