sulfite-sensing transcriptional repressor BigR
BigR (biofilm growth-associated repressor) is a winged-helix DNA-binding protein active as a transcriptional regulator for Blh, a bifunctional sulfur transferase/dioxygenase found in a number of plant-associated bacteria. Oxidative conditions that allow disulfide bond formation between the invariant residues Cys42 and Cys108 cause BigR to lose DNA-binding transcriptional repressor activity.
