摘要
The deleterious effect of superoxide radicals on cell growth and survival is predominately caused by rapid oxidation of labile [Fe-S] clusters in proteins. Oxidation of these clusters releases Fe(II) ions, which participate in Fenton chemistry that damages DNA. Here it is shown that elevated levels of the YggX protein increase the resistance of Salmonella enterica to superoxide stress, reverse enzymatic defects attributed to oxidized [Fe-S] clusters, and decrease the spontaneous mutation frequency. The data are consistent with a model in which YggX protects protein [Fe-S] clusters from oxidation.
