We have identified the iscR (PA3815) gene encoding an iron-sulfur cluster assembly regulator homologue as one of the genes required for peroxide resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14.

The iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly system Suf, adapted to oxidative stress and iron starvation in E. coli, was also more abundant, suggesting functional activity of Suf in Y. pestis under iron-limiting conditions.
This data was consistent with lower activities of aconitase and catalase in iron-starved vs. iron-rich cells.

Sequence analysis suggests that SMU.1297 encodes a hypothetical protein with a high degree of homology to the Bacillus subtilis YtqI protein, which possesses an oligoribonuclease activity that cleaves nano-RNAs and a phosphatase activity that degrades 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphate (pAp) and 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (pApS) to produce AMP; the latter activity is similar to the activity of the Escherichia coli CysQ protein, which is required for sulfur assimilation.

However, the new strains could be differentiated from the type strains of all other species of the genus Thermus by their lack of catalase activity and their utilization of only a few carbon sources.
