Abstract excerpt
SoxR protein, a member of the MerR family of transcriptional activators, mediates a global oxidative stress response in Escherichia coli. Upon oxidation or nitrosylation of its [2Fe-2S] centers SoxR activates its target gene, soxS, by mediating a structural transition in the promoter DNA that stimulates initiation by RNA polymerase. We explored the molecular basis of this signal transduction by analyzing mutant...
