Characterization of the Vibrio anguillarum VaRyhB regulon and role in pathogenesis by Yingjie Li, Xinran Yu, Peng Li, Xin Li, Lushan Wang

“…The virulence factor motility is also upregulated by VaRyhB, and reduced motility capability was observed in the ΔVaryhB mutant, which may be another reason resulting in weak pathogenesis. The sensitivity toward H2O2 in the ΔVafur mutant could be restored by the loss of VaRyhB, suggesting that the role of Fur in oxidative stress is mediated by VaRyhB. …”
