Nucleoid-associated protein EspR

UniProtKB accession:  P9WJB7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Virulence regulator that has both architectural and regulatory roles. Impacts cell wall functions and pathogenesis through regulation of multiple genes, including the espACD operon, which is a key ESX-1 component. Influences target gene expression positively or negatively, depending on its binding position relative to the genes it controls. Acts by binding directly to the DNA. May play a central role in regulating virulence gene expression.
