Biological Significance: The AmpR proteome data not only confirmed the role of AmpR in virulence and resistance to multiple antibiotics, but also expanded the perimeter of AmpR regulon. The data presented here points to the role of AmpR in regulating cyclic di-GMP levels and phosphorylation of Ser, Thr and Tyr, adding another dimension to the regulatory functions of AmpR. We also identify some previously unannotated/misannotated ORFs in the P. aeruginosa genome, indicating the limitations of existing ORF analyses software. This study will contribute towards understanding complex genetic organization of P. aeruginosa. Whole genome proteomic picture of regulators at higher nodal positions in the regulatory network will not only help us link various virulence phenotypes but also design novel therapeutic strategies.
