Namearsenical resistance system
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionA characteristic four-gene system for arsenic (and antimony) resistance is found in many prokaryotic genomes. The system includes a pump for extrusion of arsenite, an arsenate reductase that converts arsenate to arsenite for transport, a protein ArsH of unknown function that is sometimes not required, and a regulatory protein. Several distinct families are known for the arsenate reductase, ArsC, which may be dependent on glutaredoxin or thioredoxin in different instances.
