Function
Involved in response to both electrophiles and reactive chlorine species (RCS) (PubMed:23506073, PubMed:23536188). Represses the transcription of the nemRA-gloA operon by binding to the NemR box (PubMed:18567656, PubMed:23506073, PubMed:23536188). May sense electrophiles, primarily quinones and glyoxals, as redox signals and regulate the redox state by modulating the expression of nemA and gloA (PubMed:23506073). Also uses the oxidation status of HOCl-sensitive cysteine residues to respond to bleach and related RCS (PubMed:23536188). Involved in response to methylglyoxal (PubMed:23646895).
