The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• binding of [protein|5A6FBAE6553343092862CB79E150F934978C32A9|SinR] resulting in induction of [protein|5A6FBAE6553343092862CB79E150F934978C32A9|SinR]-repressed genes and operons [Pubmed|19788541]

Paralogous protein(s)

• [protein|24D6A7DDCB25B99FBB670E9203F826596916B35C|SinI]

Effectors of protein activity

• [protein|920F91E748EE079FF864011D9052B073567C41E4|SlrR] inhibits activity of [protein|C17C296F3EB2E106C380E3B5D784F3FA63F4C9B7|SlrA] (i. e. binding to [protein|5A6FBAE6553343092862CB79E150F934978C32A9|SinR]) [Pubmed|19788541]

  regulatory mechanism

  • [protein|C3D87DAA8DB124D50D2C2B2D424C9608C0DE067F|YwcC]: repression, [Pubmed|18647168,19788541], in [regulon|C3D87DAA8DB124D50D2C2B2D424C9608C0DE067F|YwcC regulon]

  additional information

  • increased expression in a [gene|64C6D783FF3F41C81B216F798A1DC8071345B1ED|pnpA] mutant [Pubmed|26857544]
  • half-life of the mRNA: 0.56 min, this increases to 1.06 in a [gene|64C6D783FF3F41C81B216F798A1DC8071345B1ED|pnpA] mutant [Pubmed|26857544]
  • RNA degradation by [protein|64C6D783FF3F41C81B216F798A1DC8071345B1ED|PnpA] is proceeds from the 3' end of the mRNA through the [protein|7CD46C64BE69EDADF58B634DC50C3F61BFFEC5B5|Rho]-dependent terminator [Pubmed|26857544]
  • transcription termination depends on [protein|7CD46C64BE69EDADF58B634DC50C3F61BFFEC5B5|Rho] [Pubmed|26857544]
