UniProt functional annotation for P06555

UniProt code: P06555.

Organism: Bacillus licheniformis.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Function: Transcriptional repressor that constitutively blocks expression of beta-lactamase. Regulates genes involved in antibiotic resistance. Binds DNA as a dimer.
 
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17576674}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}.
Ptm: Upon exposure to beta-lactams, proteolytic cleavage at a single site may impair dimerization and abolish repressor activity. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the BlaI transcriptional regulatory family. {ECO:0000305}.
