Abstract excerpt
The DegS-DegU two-component regulatory system regulates many cellular events in Bacillus subtilis. Genes for DegSU constitutes an operon directed by the P1 promoter and downstream degU is autoregulated via the P3 promoter activated by phosphorylated DegU. In the Gram-positive bacteria, Spx plays a major role in the protection system against oxidative stresses as a transcriptional regulator. Spx is a substrate of...
