DUF4004 protein BacR (YhbD) of Bacillus subtilis is a regulator of bactofilin expression and interacts with bactofilins in a switch-like manner
Introduction DUF4004-containing proteins are found in a variety of bacteria. The only characterized member was shown to act as transcriptional repressor of genes involved in metabolism in Clostridium acetobutylicum. We have characterized the B. subtilis member of this protein family, encoded by the yhbD gene. The absen...
