Copper/zinc superoxide dismutase; Destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems; Belongs to the Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase family.

Gifsy-2 prophage superoxide dismutase precursor (Cu-Zn); Destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems; Belongs to the Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase family.

Catalase; Serves to protect cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide.

Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, C22 subunit; Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides; Belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. AhpC/Prx1 subfamily.

Regulatory protein sensor for oxidative stress; Regulates intracellular hydrogen peroxide (LysR family); similar to E. coli activator, hydrogen peroxide-inducible genes (AAC76943.1); Blastp hit to AAC76943.1 (305 aa), 95% identity in aa 1 - 305; Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family.

Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, F52a subunit; Serves to protect the cell against DNA damage by alkyl hydroperoxides. It can use either NADH or NADPH as electron donor for direct reduction of redox dyes or of alkyl hydroperoxides when combined with the AhpC protein; Belongs to the class-II pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family.

Transcriptional activator of superoxide response regulon; Transcriptional activator of the superoxide response regulon of E.coli that includes at least 10 genes such as sodA, nfo, zwf and micF. Binds the DNA sequence 5'-GCACN(7)CAA-3'. It also facilitates the subsequent binding of RNA polymerase to the micF and the nfo promoters (By similarity).

Redox-sensing transcriptional activator SoxR; Activates the transcription of the soxS gene which itself controls the superoxide response regulon. SoxR contains a 2Fe-2S iron- sulfur cluster that may act as a redox sensor system that recognizes superoxide. The variable redox state of the Fe-S cluster is employed in vivo to modulate the transcriptional activity of SoxR in response to specific types of oxidative stress (By similarity).

DNA strand exchange and recombination protein; Can catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of single- stranded DNA, the ATP-dependent uptake of single-stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the ATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic cleavage.
