Title: Role for the oxyS gene in regulation of intracellular hydrogen peroxide in Escherichia coli.

Authors: González-Flecha, B; Demple, B

Published In J Bacteriol, (1999 Jun)

Abstract: Intracellular hydrogen peroxide is regulated in Escherichia coli by OxyR in response to the metabolic production of H2O2. Here, we show that the untranslated oxyS RNA controlled by OxyR has a role in this regulation. The oxyS transcript appears to affect the metabolic output of H2O2 rather than the removal of H2O2 by catalases-hydroperoxidases.
