| UniProt functional annotation for P0ACQ4 | |||
| UniProt code: P0ACQ4. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Hydrogen peroxide sensor. Activates the expression of a regulon of hydrogen peroxide-inducible genes such as katG, gor, ahpC, ahpF, oxyS (a regulatory RNA), dps, fur and grxA. OxyR expression is negatively autoregulated by binding to a 43 bp region upstream of its own coding sequence. OxyR is inactivated by reduction of its essential disulfide bond by the product of GrxA, itself positively regulated by OxyR. Has also a positive regulatory effect on the production of surface proteins that control the colony morphology and auto- aggregation ability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9497290}. | |
| Activity regulation: | Activated by oxidation of Cys-199 resulting in the alternative formation of cystine, sulfenic acid, S-nitroso- or glutathione-bound cysteine. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer and homotetramer. | |
| Ptm: | Oxidized on Cys-199; the Cys-SOH formed in response to oxidative signaling triggers a conformational change and the onset of transcriptional activity with a specific DNA-binding affinity. Cys-199- SOH rapidly reacts with Cys-208-SH to form a disulfide bond. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12015987}. | |
| Ptm: | S-nitrosylation in response to nitrosative signaling triggers a conformational change and the onset of transcriptional activity with a specific DNA-binding affinity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12015987}. | |
| Ptm: | Glutathionylation in response to redox signaling triggers the onset of transcriptional activity with a specific DNA-binding affinity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12015987}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Oxidized OxyR can be reduced and inactivated by glutaredoxin 1, the product of grxA, whose expression is regulated by OxyR itself. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Identified as a multicopy suppressor of the slow growth phenotype of an rsgA (yjeQ) deletion mutant. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18223068}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
