In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, flavohemoglobin (Fhp) and its cognate regulator FhpR (PA2665) form a protective regulatory circuit, which responds to reactive nitrogen species and is also capable of protecting cells against nitrosative stress. Recently, it has been shown that the expression of the fhp promoter is regulated not only by FhpR, but also by two new regulators, PA0779 and PA3697. It has also been suggested that the bacterial flavohemoglobins (flavoHbs) could play a crucial role in the protection of cells against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, the role and function of the Fhp/FhpR system during oxidative stress were studied by assessing the viability and membrane integrity of P. aeruginosa cells and by analyzing the promoter activities of fhp and fhpR upon exposure to paraquat, hydrogen peroxide, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, under both aerobic and low-oxygen conditions. The results showed that under aerobic conditions, both fhp and fhpR promoters are induced by ROS generated by the stressors. Thus, the Fhp/FhpR system is implicated in the oxidative stress response. ROS-induced fhp promoter activity was dependent on FhpR, PA0779, and PA3697 regulators. Tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced fhpR promoter activity was found to be highly repressed by PA0779, and FhpR showed negative autoregulation of its own promoter. Under low-oxygen conditions, the activity of the fhp promoter was not inducible by ROS, but fhpR promoter activity was induced by paraquat, and hydrogen peroxide was repressed in both cases by the regulators PA0779 and PA3697.
