| UniProt functional annotation for P32081 | |||
| UniProt code: P32081. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Binds to the pentamer sequences ATTGG and CCAAT with highest affinity in single-stranded DNA, and also to other sequences. Has greater affinity for ATTGG than CCAAT. Can act as transcriptional activator of cold shock genes by recognizing putative ATTGG-box elements present in promoter regions of genes induced under cold shock conditions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8307174}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. Interacts with RNA helicase CshB when cells are transcriptionally active. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16352840}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm, nucleoid {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16352840}. Note=Shows transcription-dependent localization at subcellular sites surrounding the nucleoid. | |
| Induction: | In response to low temperature. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | A double cshB-cspB disruption mutant cannot be made. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16352840}. | |
