초록

$\sigma$$\^$R/ is a sigma factor responsible for inducing the thioredoxin system in response to oxidative stress in Streptomyces coelicolor. RsrA, an anti-sigma factor, specifically binds to $\sigma$$\^$R/ and inhibits $\sigma$$\^$R/-directed transcription under reducing conditions. Exposure to H$_2$O$_2$ or thiol-specific oxidant diamide dissociates $\sigma$$\^$R/-RsrA complex. The redox-dependent regulation of $\sigma$$\^$R/-RsrA binding has been reported to involve thiol-disulfide exchange in RsrA, which contains 7 cysteines in 105 amino acid residues.(omitted)
