title: [Study on regulation of long-chain fatty acid metabolism with the use of computer analysis of complete bacterial genomes].
abstract: One of the main trends in the prokaryote genomics is the comparative analysis of metabolic pathways. This method can be used for the analysis of experimentally studied systems of co-regulated genes, as well as genes with unknown regulatory signals. In this study we apply the comparative analysis of regulatory signals to the genes of the enzymes for fatty acid metabolism from Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Vibrio cholerae, Yersinia pestis. Transcription of these genes is regulated by the FadR protein. We describe the FadR regulation of the long-chain fatty acid oxidation and partially that of the fatty acid biosynthesis. We also demonstrate that the gene yafH encoding acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is identical to the gene fadE, previously identified by genetic techniques.
