In this study, we found that the loss of OmpR, the response regulator of the two-component EnvZ/OmpR system, increases the cellular level of Fur, the master regulator of iron homeostasis in Y. enterocolitica . Furthermore, we demonstrated that transcription of the fur gene from the YeP fur promoter is subject to negative OmpR-dependent regulation. Four putative OmpR-binding sites (OBSs) were indicated by in silico analysis of the fur promoter region, and their removal affected OmpR-dependent fur expression. Moreover, OmpR binds specifically to the predicted OBSs which exhibit a distinct hierarchy of binding affinity. Finally, the data demonstrate that OmpR, by direct binding to the promoters of the fecA , fepA and feoA genes, involved in the iron transport and being under Fur repressor activity, modulates their expression. It seems that the negative effect of OmpR on fecA and fepA transcription is sufficient to counteract the indirect, positive effect of OmpR resulting from decreasing the Fur repressor level. The expression of feoA was positively regulated by OmpR and this mode of action seems to be direct and indirect. Together, the expression of fecA , fepA and feoA in Y. enterocolitica has been proposed to be under a complex mode of regulation involving OmpR and Fur regulators.
