We isolated and characterized a possible regulatory gene, designated actX gene, from Actinobacillus actinomyctemcomitans Y4, which defined the Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae hlyX-like regulatory gene. DNA sequence analysis for plasmid clone pKM317 containing a 1.6-kb DNA insert indicated an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 257 amino acid residues. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence showed the presence of five characteristic cysteine residues in the N-terminal region and a putative DNA binding residue in the C-terminal region, indicating that actX might belong to a regulatory gene family. Escherichia coli DH5alpha and a mutant strain JRG1728 transformed by plasmid carrying actX manifested apparent hemolytic activity on sheep blood agar and grew anaerobically, although the original strains did not.
