Function
Global regulator that is part of the nutrient-sensing system. In the absence of N-acetylglucosamine 6-P, represses the phosphotransferase system (PTS) specific for the uptake of N-acetylglucosamine (PTSNag), and genes involved in the metabolism of chitin, as well as several genes involved in development, thereby linking carbon availability to morphogenesis. Binds to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-ACTGGTCTAGACCACT-3' (By similarity).
