The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• [protein|920F91E748EE079FF864011D9052B073567C41E4|SlrR] binds to and inhibits the activity of [protein|C17C296F3EB2E106C380E3B5D784F3FA63F4C9B7|SlrA], [protein|C17C296F3EB2E106C380E3B5D784F3FA63F4C9B7|SlrA] indirectly stimulates the synthesis of [protein|920F91E748EE079FF864011D9052B073567C41E4|SlrR] by interacting with [protein|5A6FBAE6553343092862CB79E150F934978C32A9|SinR]. [protein|920F91E748EE079FF864011D9052B073567C41E4|SlrR] can bind to [protein|5A6FBAE6553343092862CB79E150F934978C32A9|SinR] and [protein|5A6FBAE6553343092862CB79E150F934978C32A9|SinR] directly represses the transcription of [protein|920F91E748EE079FF864011D9052B073567C41E4|SlrR]. [protein|920F91E748EE079FF864011D9052B073567C41E4|SlrR] indirectly derepresses its own gene. The heterocomplex of [protein|920F91E748EE079FF864011D9052B073567C41E4|SlrR]-[protein|5A6FBAE6553343092862CB79E150F934978C32A9|SinR] is a repressor of autolysin and motility genes and inhibits the repressor function of [protein|5A6FBAE6553343092862CB79E150F934978C32A9|SinR].
