RESUMO
Hydrogen peroxide treatment induces the synthesis of 30 proteins in Salmonella typhimurium. Five of these proteins are also induced by heat shock, including the highly conserved DnaK protein. The induction of one of these five proteins by heat shock is dependent on oxyR, a positive regulator of hydrogen peroxide-inducible genes, while the induction of the other four by heat shock is oxyR independent. Five of the 30 hydrogen peroxide-inducible proteins have been identified, and their structural genes have been mapped. Other stresses such as nalidixic acid, ethanol, or cumene hydroperoxide treatment also induce subsets of the 30 hydrogen peroxide-inducible proteins as well as additional proteins. Hydrogen peroxide-inducible proteins are shown to be largely different from those proteins induced by aerobiosis. In addition, the expression of the katG (catalase) gene is shown to be regulated by oxyR at the level of mRNA.
