Protein
Transcriptional regulator LdrP
Organism
Thermus thermophilus (strain HB27 / ATCC BAA-163 / DSM 7039)
Function
Activates transcription. Positively regulates PcrtB promoter upstream of the crtB operon in a cAMP-independent manner. Regulated genes include genes encoding DNA photolyase, phytoene synthase and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, which are involved in carotenoid biosynthesis (PubMed:21421762). Positively regulates the light-inducible gene cluster in the megaplasmid in a cAMP-independent manner (PubMed:25294106).
