The protein
Basic information/ Evolution
- Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: Transcriptional regulator of many genes in response to thiol specific oxidative stress. 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.
- Protein family: 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
