To identify proteins induced by hydrogen peroxide in Salmonella typhimurium and characterize their overlap with heat shock and other environmental stress responses.
Exposed Salmonella typhimurium cultures to hydrogen peroxide, heat shock, ethanol, nalidixic acid, cumene hydroperoxide, and aerobic conditions.
Assessed protein expression patterns, mapped structural genes of identified stress proteins, and evaluated OxyR-dependent transcriptional regulation of the katG gene.
Hydrogen peroxide treatment induces 30 proteins, with 5 overlapping with heat shock induction—including the conserved chaperone DnaK—and distinct subsets induced by ethanol, nalidixic acid, and cumene hydroperoxide.
Heat shock induction of 1 overlapping protein requires the OxyR positive regulator, whereas induction of the remaining 4 is OxyR-independent.
OxyR regulates katG catalase expression at the mRNA level, and hydrogen peroxide-induced proteins are largely distinct from aerobiosis-induced proteins.
