Activation of the Spx redox sensor counters cysteine-driven Fe(II) depletion under disulfide stress
2025-12-03
Abstract excerpt
In many low G+C Gram-positive bacteria, the global regulator Spx helps maintain thiol homeostasis during disulfide stress, when protein thiols form aberrant disulfide bonds that can lead to misfolding and oxidative damage. Spx-dependent gene expression is triggered when an intramolecular disulfide bond forms between two cysteines in its redox switch. Surprisingly, some Spx functions persist even in the absence of...
