Structural highlights
Function
MVFR_PSEAE Transcription regulator that plays a critical role in virulence by positively regulating the expression of multiple quorum sensing (QS)-regulated virulence factors, genes involved in protein secretion, translation, response to oxidative stress and the phnAB operon (PubMed:11724939, PubMed:27678057, PubMed:17083468). At the stationary phase, negatively autoregulates its function through cleavage and translocation to the extracellular space (PubMed:11724939).[1] [2] [3]
