Spx/MgsR family RNA polymerase-binding regulatory protein
Spx/MgsR family RNA polymerase-binding regulatory protein may function to globally reduce transcription of genes involved in growth- and development-promoting processes and to increase transcription of genes involved in thiol homeostasis, during periods of extreme stress by binding the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase, and affecting its binding of DNA
transcriptional regulator Spx
Members of this family regulate transcription by binding the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase, and affecting its binding of DNA, rather than by binding DNA directly. Characterized members of this family include Spx and MgsR from Bacillus subtili. Spx is a global regulator for response to thiol-specific oxidative stress. MgsR (modulator of the general stress response, also called YqgZ) provides a second level of regulation for more than a third of the proteins in the B. subtilis general stress regulon controlled by Sigma-B. Members are related to the arsenate reductase ArsC.
