The gene (sipA) encoding the sulfur-induced protein A (PF2025) is highly upregulated during growth of Pyrococcus furiosus on elemental sulfur (S(0)). Expression of sipA is regulated by sulfide, the product of S(0) reduction, but in an iron-dependent manner. SipA is proposed to play a role in intracellular iron sulfide detoxification.
编码硫诱导蛋白 A (PF2025) 的基因 (sipA) 在 Pyrococcus furiosus 以元素硫 (S(0)) 生长时高度上调。sipA 的表达受 S(0)还原产物硫化物的调节,但以铁依赖的方式进行。SipA 被提议在细胞内铁硫化物解毒中发挥作用。
