dpr/dps	BacMet ID: BAC0134 Code for: Binding protein Family: Dps famaily Sequence: FASTA Cross-database IDs: Link Organism: Streptococcus suis Location: Chromosome Compound: Iron (Fe), Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) [class: Peroxides] Description: DNA protection during starvation protein; Protects DNA from oxidative damage by sequestering intracellular Fe2+ ion and storing it in the form of Fe3+ oxyhydroxide mineral. One hydrogen peroxide oxidizes two Fe2+ ions, which prevents hydroxyl radical production by the Fenton reaction. It binds and incorporates Fe2+ iron. Is responsible for hydrogen peroxide resistance. Does not bind DNA. Length (amino acid): 172 Reference: Pulliainen et al. 2005; Pubmed- 16091046	Similar resistance genes in 'BacMet Predicted database'
