In Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, SoxR likely functions as a sensor of redox-cycling drugs and as a transcriptional regulator. Oxidized SoxR binds directly to its target site and activates the expression of xcc0300, a gene that has protective roles against the toxicity of redox-cycling compounds. In addition, SoxR acts as a noninducible repressor of its own expression. X. campestris pv. campestris requires SoxR both for protection against redox-cycling drugs and for full virulence on a host plant. The X. campestris model of the gene regulation and physiological roles of SoxR represents a novel variant of existing bacterial SoxR models.
在野油菜黄单胞菌野油菜致病变种中,SoxR 可能作为一种氧化还原循环药物的传感器和转录调节因子发挥作用。氧化的 SoxR 直接结合到其靶位点并激活 xcc0300 的表达,xcc0300 基因对氧化还原循环化合物的毒性具有保护作用。此外,SoxR 作为其自身表达的非诱导性阻遏物发挥作用。野油菜黄单胞菌野油菜致病变种既需要 SoxR 来保护其免受氧化还原循环药物的侵害,也需要 SoxR 来充分发挥其在宿主植物上的毒力。 SoxR 的基因调控和生理作用的野油菜黄单胞菌模型代表了现有细菌 SoxR 模型的一种新变体。
