The model for the regulatory network integrating three candidate TFs (YiaJ, YdcI, and YeiE) and their biological functions in E. coli K-12 MG1655. (A) YiaJ is a regulator that controls the operon yiaK-yiaL-yiaM-yiaN-yiaO-lyxK-sgbH-sgbU-sgbE in the catabolism pathway. (B) YdcI inhibits the transcription of target gene gltA, resulting in the down-regulation of citrate synthase that is required in the TCA cycle. (C) YdcI binds to genomic DNA and activates target genes nhaA, dtpA, lldP, and gltP that are responsible for proton transfer. (D) YeiE affects multiple transporters (amino acids, inorganic ions, lipids) and metabolic processes, maintaining iron homeostasis at iron-limited conditions.
