The anti-sigma factor RsrA responds to oxidative stress by reburying its hydrophobic core

Redox regulated effector systems that counteract oxidative stress are essential for all forms of life. Here, we uncover a new paradigm for sensing oxidative stress centred on the hydrophobic core of a sensor protein. RsrA is an archetypal zinc-binding anti-sigma factor that responds to disulfide s...
