SoxR
Description
SoxR is a 17 kDa transcription factor of the MerR family. The normal in vivo level of SoxR protein is maintained at a low level of 50-100 molecules per cell, forming a dimer in solution. It contains a [2Fe–2S] cluster, which is essential for reversible one-electron oxidation and reduction to regulate its activity. Only when the [2Fe–2S] cluster is fully oxidized (Fe3+-Fe3+), SoxR becomes a powerful transcription activator of soxS promoter (up to 100-fold). Reducing the SoxR [2Fe–2S] cluster by one electron (Fe2+-Fe3+) can eliminate the ability to stimulate soxS expression[1]. In response to superoxide-generating agents, SoxR is oxidized and activated, therefore increasing the synthesis of SoxS, which then activates its target gene expression[2].
Fig.1. The soxRS regulon. The soxRS regulon includes soxR and soxS genes. The soxR gene is expressed innately in cells and SoxR is activated in response to superoxide-generating agents and nitric oxide (NO). Oxidized SoxR acts as a transcriptional activator of soxS gene; SoxS, afterward, enhances the expression of antioxidant genes. Abbreviation: G6PD, glucose-6-P-dehydrogenase[1].
Usage and Biology
SoxR protein was used to regulate the expression of taurine-producing enzymes. When the [2Fe–2S] cluster is fully oxidized, SoxR acts as a strong transcription activator of soxS promoter[1]. The sequence of this basic part is the reverse complement of soxR gene from E. coli.
