Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress causes damage to nucleic acids, membrane lipids and proteins. One striking effect is the metal-catalyzed, site-specific carbonylation of proteins. In the gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis, the PerR-dependent specific stress response and the sigmaB-dependent general stress response act together to make cells more resistant to oxidative stress. In this study, we analyzed the...
