nitrosative stress
Research ArticleYjbH Requires Its Thioredoxin Active Motif for the Nitrosative Stress Response, Cell-to-Cell Spread, and Protein-Protein Interactions in Listeria monocytogenesThe annotated thioredoxin YjbH in Listeria monocytogenes has been implicated in virulence, but its function in the cell is unknown. In other bacterial species, YjbH is a protease adaptor that mediates degradation of the transcriptional regulator Spx. Here, we investigated the function of L. monocytogenes...
Research ArticleThe Di-iron RIC Protein (YtfE) of Escherichia coli Interacts with the DNA-Binding Protein from Starved Cells (Dps) To Diminish RIC Protein-Mediated Redox StressThe mammalian immune system produces reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that kill bacterial pathogens by damaging key cellular components, such as lipids, DNA, and proteins. However, bacteria possess detoxifying and repair systems that mitigate these deleterious effects. The Escherichia coli RIC (repair of iron clusters) protein is a di-iron hemerythrin-like protein...
