Protein
Transcriptional regulator WhiB2
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv)
Function
The apo-form functions as a chaperone, preventing aggregation or helping in correct refolding of a number of substrates; this activity does not require ATP or the ability to bind a Fe-S cluster. Chaperone activity is insensitive to the redox state of its cysteine residues. The apo-form has no protein disulfide reductase activity. The apo-form binds to its own promoter.
Similarity
Belongs to the WhiB family.
