SoxR protein, a transcriptional activator of the soxRS (superoxide response) regulon of Escherichia coli, contains autooxidizable [2Fe-2S] centers that are presumed to serve as redox sensors. In vitro transcription experiments previously demonstrated that only the oxidized form is active. Reduced SoxR was detected in overproducing strains by EPR spectroscopy of suspensions of intact cells. Oxidized Fe-S centers were determined by lysing the cells and treating them with the reducing agent sodium dithionite prior to EPR measurements. In uninduced cells, 90% of the SoxR was in the reduced form. Treatment with the redox cycling agents phenazine methosulfate or plumbagin was accompanied by reversible oxidation of the Fe-S centers. Mutant SoxR derivatives that were constitutively activated existed constitutively in an oxidized state. The results indicate the presence of a cellular pathway for countering the autooxidation of SoxR and confirm the hypothesis that induction of the regulon is mediated by a shift in the redox equilibrium of SoxR rather than by assembly of its Fe-S clusters.
