Transcription unit       
Name: acnA
Gene(s): ymiC, acnA   Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS
Note(s): The expresion of the acnA gene is induced under oxidative stress, although this induction is not early after the stress is generated Lu C,2003.
SoxS is a regulator that participates in controlling several genes involved in the response to oxidative stress. SoxS facilitates the binding of RNA polymerase to some promoters, including the acnA promoter, during low iron availability Fuentes AM,2001
