Function
DEVS_MYCTO Member of the two-component regulatory system DevR/DevS (DosR/DosS) involved in onset of the dormancy response. May act as a redox sensor (rather than a direct hypoxia sensor); the normal (aerobic growth) state is the Fe(3+) form, while the reduced (anaerobic growth) Fe(2+) form is probably active for phosphate transfer. It is probably reduced by flavin nucleotides such as FMN and FAD. May be the primary sensor for CO. Donates a phosphate group to DevR (DosR) (By similarity).
