The Escherichia coli OxyR protein is a transcriptional activator for a number of genes induced in response to low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. To identify additional OxyR-regulated genes, I cloned a DNA fragment that shows promoter activity regulated by OxyR by direct selection of OxyR-binding DNA fragments. Analyses of the cloned fragment indicate that the grx gene, encoding glutaredoxin 1, is inducible by hydrogen peroxide in an oxyR-dependent fashion.
大肠杆菌的OxyR蛋白是一种转录激活因子,可激活许多因低浓度过氧化氢诱导而表达的基因。为了鉴定其他受OxyR调控的基因,我通过直接筛选与OxyR结合的DNA片段,克隆了一个显示受OxyR调控的启动子活性的DNA片段。对该克隆片段的分析表明,编码谷氧还蛋白1的grx基因可被过氧化氢以依赖OxyR的方式诱导表达。
