Transcriptional regulatory protein WalR

UniProtKB accession:  A0A0H2UQ68

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Member of the two-component regulatory system WalK/WalR that regulates genes involved in cell wall metabolism (By similarity). Binds to the promoter region of the transcription factor fabT gene in the fabTH-acp operon in vitro (PubMed:27610104). Inhibits transcription of fabT, probably acting in an unphosphorylated form, thereby playing a role in the regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis (PubMed:27610104, PubMed:15774879). Essential for normal growth in vitro (By similarity). Required for maintaining normal cellular morphology, acting, at least in part, by regulating peptidoglycan hydrolase pcsB (By similarity). Involved in maintaining expression of WalRK regulon genes in exponentially growing cells (By similarity).
