Effects of the oxidation of Cys203 on SsrB DNA binding. (A) Binding of 300 ng SsrBc to 20 fmol of its cognate ssrA promoter after treatment with 1 mM ONOO− or 25 mM iodoacetate. The unbound, biotinylated ssrA DNA probe (U) is shown for comparison. (B and D) DNA binding of the SsrBc C203D or C203S alleles. Where indicated, selected samples in D were treated with 1 mM ONOO− before binding to the DNA. (C) Circular dichroic (CD) spectra of 0.2 mg/mL SsrBc recombinant variants. Representative data from two or three independent experiments are shown.
