Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
transcriptional regulator of  many genes in response to thiol specific oxidative stress (transcription activator of [gene|4E5C84FDC8FE2FEFF47306C91ECAB7F17D3E38E9|trxA] and [gene|1BC439BBCD5FE19D5780519D7E4317C2EFF0D21B|trxB])
in addition, Spx inhibits transcription by binding to the C-terminal domain of the alpha subunit of RNAP ([protein|5996A5C25E108A3C4562686BF34A59CB14FD56EB|rpoA]), disrupting complex formation between RNAP and certain transcriptional activator proteins like [protein|1E829D639BADDC6BDC9B5FB4C97A632A53FDDB24|resD] and [protein|7832489F11F606BCF637EC23BAAB41AD10237EBB|comA]
in response to thiol specific oxidative stress, Spx can also activate transcription, making it a general regulator that exerts both positive and negative control over transcription initiation
