Abstract

The soxRS redox stress regulon of Escherichia coli is triggered in two stages, with the activated SoxR protein stimulating the soxS gene, whose product then triggers transcription of ~10 promoters. Genetic and biochemical experiments presented here show that SoxS protein also limits soxS transcription in vivo and binds the soxS promoter in vitro.
