Bound ferric citrate does not have to be transported but initiates a signal that is transmitted by FecA across the outer membrane and by FecR across the cytoplasmic membrane into the cytoplasm, where the FecI extracytoplasmic-function (ECF) sigma factor becomes active. In this study, we isolated transcription initiation-negative missense mutants in the cytoplasmic region of FecR that were located at four sites, L13Q, W19R, W39R, and W50R, which are highly conserved in FecR-like open reading frames of the <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>Pseudomonas putida</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>Bordetella pertussis</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>Bordetella bronchiseptica</jats:italic> , and <jats:italic>Caulobacter crescentus</jats:italic> genomes. The cytoplasmic portion of the FecR mutant proteins, FecR <jats:sub>1–85</jats:sub> , did not interact with wild-type FecI, in contrast to wild-type FecR <jats:sub>1–85</jats:sub> , which induced FecI-mediated <jats:italic>fecB</jats:italic> transport gene transcription. Two missense mutations in region 2.1 of FecI, S15A and H20E, partially restored induction of ferric citrate transport gene induction of the <jats:italic>fecR</jats:italic> mutants by ferric citrate. Region 2.1 of ς <jats:sup>70</jats:sup> is thought to bind RNA polymerase core enzyme; the residual activity of mutated FecI in the absence of FecR, however, was not higher than that of wild-type FecI. In addition, missense mutations in the <jats:italic>fecI</jats:italic> promoter region resulted in a twofold increased transcription in <jats:italic>fecR</jats:italic> wild-type cells and a partial restoration of <jats:italic>fec</jats:italic> transport gene transcription in the <jats:italic>fecR</jats:italic> mutants. The mutations reduced binding of the Fe <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> Fur repressor and as a consequence enhanced <jats:italic>fecI</jats:italic> transcription. The data reveal properties of the FecI ECF factor distinct from those of ς <jats:sup>70</jats:sup> and further support the novel transcription initiation model in which the cytoplasmic portion of FecR is important for FecI activity. </jats:p> Control of the Ferric Citrate Transport System of <i>Escherichia coli</i> : Mutations in Region 2.1 of the FecI Extracytoplasmic-Function Sigma Factor Suppress Mutations in the FecR Transmembrane Regulatory Protein Journal of Bacteriology
