Collateral consequences of oxidative stress responses result in mitomycin C sensitivity

Kubra Yigit, Anna Chapman, Peter Chien

The paper shows that activating OxyR in Caulobacter crescentus increases sensitivity to mitomycin C due to collateral effects of antioxidant defenses.

Proteolytic control of FixT by the Lon protease impacts FixLJ signaling in Caulobacter crescentus

Kubra Yigit, Peter Chien

The paper investigates how Lon protease degradation of FixT affects FixLJ signaling in Caulobacter crescentus, showing that FixT dynamics influence heme biosynthesis but not other Lon-related phenotypes.
