| UniProt functional annotation for Q53W63 | |||
| UniProt code: Q53W63. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | Activates transcription. Positively regulates PcrtB promoter upstream of the crtB operon in a cAMP-independent manner. Regulated genes include genes encoding DNA photolyase, phytoene synthase and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, which are involved in carotenoid biosynthesis. Positively regulates the light-inducible gene cluster in the megaplasmid in a cAMP-independent manner. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q746J8}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22383301}. | |
