| 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}. | |
