UniProt functional annotation for P0A6R3

UniProt code: P0A6R3.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Activates ribosomal RNA transcription, as well other genes. Plays a direct role in upstream activation of rRNA promoters. Binds to a recombinational enhancer sequence that is required to stimulate hin- mediated DNA inversion. Prevents initiation of DNA replication from oriC. Binds to hundreds of transcriptionally active and inactive AT- rich sites, approximately half its binding sites are in non-coding DNA, which only accounts for about 10% of the genome (PubMed:16963779). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16963779, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2209559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8836178}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, nucleoid {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21903814}. Note=Scattered throughout the nucleoid (PubMed:21903814). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21903814}.
Similarity: Belongs to the transcriptional regulatory Fis family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00166}.
