Protein
HTH-type transcriptional repressor FatR
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Negatively regulates the transcription of the fatR-cypB operon. Is displaced from its operator by a range of fatty acids such as oleate, linoleate and phytanate, thereby allowing transcription of the fatR-cypB operon.
