sxy

Gene
sxy
Protein
Protein Sxy
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Length
209 amino acids
Function
Induces low levels of natural DNA uptake by inducing transcription of the competence genes (the CRP-S regulon) required for DNA transformation. Induction of the CRP-S regulon also requires Sxy-activated promoter (CRP-S), cAMP receptor protein (CRP) and cAMP (PubMed:17068078, PubMed:22532864). Induces CRP-S site-containing genes which are involved in genome maintenance and transcription or encoding transposases and toxin-antitoxin pairs (PubMed:19502395).
Similarity
Belongs to the TfoX family.
