OxyR acts as a repressor of catalase expression in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jan 2003

Tseng Hsing-Ju, McEwan Alastair G, Apicella Michael A, Jennings Michael P

Abstract excerpt

It has been reported that Neisseria gonorrhoeae possesses a very high level of catalase activity, but the regulation of catalase expression has not been investigated extensively. In Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, it has been demonstrated that OxyR is a positive regulator of hydrogen peroxide-inducible genes, including the gene encoding catalase. The oxyR gene from N. gonorrhoeae was...
