Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
The protein family comprises transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to various stimuli, including heme availability, iron stress, and antifungal drug presence. Members of the family are involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites like tenellin-type 2-pyridones, aspyridones, leporins, and xenovulene A, as well as in the control of oxidative damage, respiration, and multidrug resistance. They bind to specific DNA sequences to modulate the transcription of target genes, contributing to cellular adaptation and survival under different environmental conditions. Some members are also implicated in virulence and membrane permeability in pathogenic fungi.
