Function
A global transcription factor. Activates transcription of the 9 following operons; yjjQ-bglJ, yjjP, acrEF, ybdO, yjcRQP, casABCDE12, rhsD-ybbC, fepE and gltF, in most cases it probably interferes with silencing by H-NS and activates transcription. Represses transcription of the 3 following operons; uxaCA, sdaCB and btsT. H-NS repression of the bgl operon, leading to the ability to metabolize some beta-glucosides. It also directly activates the bgl operon. Activation is H-NS and BglJ-RcsB independent.
