Function
Member of the two-component regulatory system BasS/BasR. BasR induces the transcription of the ugd, ais, arnBCADTEF and eptA-basRS loci, all involved in resistance to polymyxin. Represses the transcription of pmrD. Plays a role in the adaptation of the organism to the host environment, in particular to neutrophils, and therefore it plays a role in virulence as well.
