The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU11500

Phenotypes of a mutant

Loss of up-regulation of the methionine sulfoxide reductase (mrsA-mrsB) 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.
  • 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:
  • Localization: cytoplasm (according to Swiss-Prot)

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
