Abstract excerpt
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are widely distributed enzymes that convert superoxides to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen, using various metals as cofactors. Many actinobacteria contain genes for both Ni-containing (sodN) and Fe-containing (sodF) SODs. In Streptomyces coelicolor, expression of the sodF and sodN genes is inversely regulated by nickel-specific Nur, a Fur-family regulator. With sufficient...
