Characterization of redox-active cysteine residues of persulfide-responsive transcriptional repressor SqrR

We recently identified the novel persulfide sensor SqrR that functions as a master regulator of sulfide-dependent gene expression in the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. SqrR binds to the promoter regions of target genes to repress their expression in the absence of sulfide, a...
