Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The protein family is involved in the environmental signaling branch of the general stress response in bacteria. Members of the family include blue-light photoreceptors that share spectroscopical features with plant phototropins and are involved in the reversible formation of a blue-shifted photoproduct. This photoproduct is assigned to an FMN-cysteine thiol adduct and plays a role in regulating the activity of the general stress transcription factor sigma-B. Other members, RsbR paralogs (RsbRA, RsbRB, RsbRC, RsbRD), and RsbS, interact with sigma-B through a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism. Non-phosphorylated RsbS and one of the RsbR paralogs sequester RsbT, a negative regulator of sigma-B. Upon phosphorylation, RsbS and the RsbR paralogs release RsbT, which then activates RsbU, leading to the positive regulation of sigma-B in response to stress. The precise functions of some members remain undetermined, and one member is uncharacterized.
