UniProt functional annotation for P71086

UniProt code: P71086.

Organism: Bacillus subtilis (strain 168).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Function: Hydrogen and organic peroxide sensor. Represses the expression of a regulon of peroxide-inducible genes such as katA, ahpC, ahpF, the heme biosynthesis operon (hemAXCDBL), fur, perR, zosA and mrgA.
 
Cofactor: Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Name=Fe(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29033; Note=Binds 1 Mn(2+) or Fe(2+) ion per subunit.;
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.;
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16925555}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: Possibly oxidized on a cysteine residue; the Cys-SOH formed in response to oxidative signaling may rapidly react with a Cys-SH to form a disulfide bond, leading to the loss of metal ion and inactivation of repressor function. Oxidized PerR can be further reduced by thiol reductants and repressor activity restored.
Similarity: Belongs to the Fur family. {ECO:0000305}.
