Orthologous transcription factors in bacteria have different functions and regulate different genes. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2007 Transcription factors (TFs) form large paralogous gene families and have complex evolutionary histories. Here, we ask whether putative orthologs of TFs, from bidirectional best BLAST hits (BBHs), are evolutionary orthologs with conserved functions.

Control of Bacterial Sulfite Detoxification by Conserved and Species-Specific Regulatory Circuits
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Although sulfite, a by-product of the degradation of many sulfur compounds, is highly reactive and can cause damage to DNA, proteins and lipids, comparatively little is known about the regulation of sulfite-oxidizing enzyme (SOEs) expression.

Mechanism of Gene Regulation by a
mBio, 2016 The virulence of many bacterial pathogens, including the important human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, depends on the secretion of frequently large amounts of toxins. Toxin production involves the need for the bacteria to make physiological adjustments
