The possible tumor-promoting and tumor-initiating activities of p-methylcatechol and methylhydroquinone in the pyloric mucosa of male F344 rats were studied. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and replicative DNA synthesis (RDS) were used as markers of tumor promotion and DNA single strand scission

Methylhydroquinone is an intermediate in the degradation of fenitrothion by Burkholderia sp. NF100. The catabolic gene (mhq) for methylhydroquinone degradation encoded on the plasmid pNF1 in the strain was cloned and sequenced. The mhq clone contained two ORFs, mhqA and

Recently, we showed that the MarR-type repressor YkvE (MhqR) regulates multiple dioxygenases/glyoxalases, oxidoreductases and the azoreductase encoding yvaB (azoR2) gene in response to thiol-specific stress conditions, such as diamide, catechol and 2-methylhydroquinone (MHQ). Here we report on the regulation of
