Three HypT(YjiE) methionine residues are converted to methionine sulfoxides by HOCl, activating HypT as a transcription factor; MsrA and MsrB inactivate HypT (Dazic, 2013). hypT(yjiE) mutants are sensitive to HOCl and yjiE plasmids confer HOCl resistance (Gebendorfer, 2012). HypT(YjiE) is a global regulator responding to HOCl exposure that replenishes methionine and cysteine pools and down-regulates genes involved in iron acquisition (Gebendorfer, 2012). HypT(YjiE) forms a variety of oligomers including dimers, tetramers and hexamers (Gebendorfer, 2012). The identification of YjiE as a motility regulator has been challenged as subsequently no effects of HypT(YjiE) on motility were observed (Gebendorfer, 2012). HypT(YjiE) is a LysR-type transcriptional regulator. HypT(YjiE) was initially identified as a cell density-dependent motility repressor.
