The ferredoxin ThnA3 negatively regulates tetralin biodegradation gene expression via ThnY, a ferredoxin reductase that functions as a regulator of the catabolic pathway.

The genes for tetralin (thn) utilization in Sphingomonasmacrogolitabida strain TFA are regulated at the transcriptional level by ThnR, ThnY and ThnA3. ThnR, a LysR-type transcriptional activator activates transcription specifically in response to tetralin, and ThnY is an iron-sulfur flavoprotein tha...
