Two-stage induction of the soxRS (superoxide response) regulon of Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt
soxR and soxS are adjacent genes that govern a superoxide response regulon. Previous studies revealed that induction of the regulon is accompanied by increased transcription of soxS, which can activate the target genes. Therefore, induction may occur in two stages: the soxR-dependent activation of soxS, followed by the soxS-dependent induction of other genes. However, the requirement for soxR was unproven because...
