Widely spread in the living world, zinc finger proteins constitute a large superfamily, with a zinc site of general formula [ZnII(Cys)4-X(His)X] (x=0, 1 or 2) as a common feature. Whereas the majority of such sites plays a purely structural role, a few of them exhibit a reactive function (e.g. oxidative stress detection). Indeed, zinc finger sites of Hsp33 and RsrA have been shown to act as redox switches[1,2]: transmitting the information “oxidative stress” as a structural signal, by means of oxidation/reduction of its ZnII-coordinating cysteines. However, the precise mechanism of the oxidation step remains poorly understood.Given the occurrence of zinc finger proteins and their key roles, it is of high biological interest to identify fact...
