Answer #1

oxyR encodes hydrogen peroxide - inducible gene activator.

This protein helps in regulation of hydrogen peroxide inducible genes such as ahpC, F, oxyS, fur and grx etc. OxyR also helps in formation of surface proteins. In this way, these ptoteins helps the aggregation ability of E. coli cells. This leads to give a morphology to the colony of E. coli.

If the gene is deleted, then hydrogen peroxide gene are not regulated. If hydrogen peroxide is not regulated, then E. coli immunity decreases. And colony aggregation do not take place.

If the gene is overexpressed, then in single colony, there are found many number of E.coli.

OxyR us regulated hy grx protein. This protein leads to reduction of disulfide bond in oxyR. In this way, grx regulated oxyR via negative regulation whereas oxyS activate the expression of oxyR.
