Oxidization without substrate unfolding triggers proteolysis of the peroxide-sensor, PerR.
Peroxide operon regulator (PerR) is a broadly conserved hydrogen peroxide sensor in bacteria, and oxidation of PerR at its regulatory metal-binding site is considered irreversible. Here, we tested whether this oxidation specifically targets PerR for proteolysis. We find that oxidizing conditions stimulate PerR degradation in vivo, and LonA is the principal AAA+ (ATPases associated with diverse ...
متن کاملPeroxide stimulon and role of PerR in group A Streptococcus.
We have characterized group A Streptococcus (GAS) genome-wide responses to hydrogen peroxide and assessed the role of the peroxide response regulator (PerR) in GAS under oxidative stress. Comparison of transcriptome changes elicited by peroxide in wild-type bacteria with those in a perR deletion mutant showed that 76 out of 237 peroxide-regulated genes are PerR dependent. Unlike the PerR-mediat...
متن کاملRegulation of the Bacillus subtilis fur and perR genes by PerR: not all members of the PerR regulon are peroxide inducible.
PerR is a ferric uptake repressor (Fur) homolog that functions as the central regulator of the inducible peroxide stress response in Bacillus subtilis. PerR has been previously demonstrated to regulate the mrgA, katA, ahpCF, hemAXCDBL, and zosA genes. We now demonstrate that PerR also mediates both the repression of its own gene and that of fur. Whereas PerR-mediated repression of most target g...
متن کاملNon-selective regulation of peroxide and superoxide resistance genes by PerR in Campylobacter jejuni
Campylobacter jejuni is an important foodborne pathogen. The molecular mechanisms for the regulation of oxidative stress resistance have not yet been understood fully in this bacterium. In this study, we investigated how PerR (peroxide stress regulator) modulates the transcriptional regulation of both peroxide and superoxide resistance genes in C. jejuni, particularly under oxidative stress con...
متن کاملAerotolerance and peroxide resistance in peroxidase and PerR mutants of Streptococcus pyogenes.
Survival in aerobic conditions is critical to the pathogenicity of many bacteria. To investigate the means of aerotolerance and resistance to oxidative stress in the catalase-negative organism Streptococcus pyogenes, we used a genomics-based approach to identify and inactivate homologues of two peroxidase genes, encoding alkyl hydroperoxidase (ahpC) and glutathione peroxidase (gpoA). Single and...
