This gene is a member of the following regulons

PerR regulon, SigB regulon, SigM regulon, SigW regulon, SigX regulon

The Spx regulon

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU11500

Phenotypes of a mutant

Loss of up-regulation of the methionine sulfoxide reductase (msrA-msrB) operon in response to thiol specific oxidative stress, also loss of trxA and trxB upregulation in response to thiol specific oxidative stress.

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: link

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:
    • transcriptional regulator of many genes in response to thiol specific oxidative stress (transcription activator of trxA and trxB)
    • in addition, Spx inhibits transcription by binding to the C-terminal domain of the alpha subunit of RNAP (RpoA), disrupting complex formation between RNAP and certain transcriptional activator proteins like ResD and ComA
    • in response to thiol specific oxidative stress, Spx can also activate transcription, making it a general regulator that exerts both positive and negative control over transcription initiation
    • involved in competence regulation PubMed
  • Protein family: Spx subfamily (according to Swiss-Prot) Arsenate Reductase (ArsC) family, Spx subfamily
  • Paralogous protein(s): MgsR

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains: CXXC (10-13): Acts as a disulfide switch for the redox-sensitive transcriptional regulation of genes that function in thiol homeostasis.
  • Modification: Cysteine oxidation of the CXXC motif
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:

Database entries

  • Structure: 1Z3E complex with C-terminal domain of RpoA NCBI
  • KEGG entry: [2]
  • E.C. number:

Additional information

Expression and regulation

  • Regulatory mechanism: transcription repression
  • Additional information:
    • post-translational control by ClpX-ClpP: Spx naturally contains a C-terminal sequence that resembles the SsrA tag and targets the protein for degradation. PubMed
    • proteolysis is enhanced by YjbH PubMed and counter-acted by YirB PubMed
    • the mRNA is substantially stabilized upon depletion of RNase Y (the half-life of the monocistronic spx mRNA increases from 1 to 6 min) PubMed

Biological materials

  • Mutant: ORB6781 (spc), ORB6876 (tet), available in Zuber lab, also available in the Stülke lab
  • Expression vector:
  • lacZ fusion:
  • GFP fusion:
  • two-hybrid system: B. pertussis adenylate cyclase-based bacterial two hybrid system (BACTH), available in Stülke lab
