摘要
FNR and SoxR are transcriptional regulators containing an iron-sulfur cluster. The iron-sulfur cluster in FNR acts as an oxygen sensor by reacting with oxygen. The structural change of the iron-sulfur cluster takes place when FNR senses oxygen, which regulates the transcriptional regulator activity of FNR through the change of the quaternary structure. SoxR contains the [2Fe-2S] cluster that regulates the transcriptional activator activity of SoxR. Only the oxidized SoxR containing the [2Fe-2S](2+) cluster is active as the transcriptional activator. CooA is a transcriptional activator containing a protoheme that acts as a CO sensor. CO is a physiological effector of CooA and regulates the transcriptional activator activity of CooA. In this review, the biochemical and biophysical properties of FNR, SoxR, and CooA are described.
