Function
MTRR_NEIGO Controls the permeability of the cell envelope to hydrophobic compounds such as antibiotics and detergents (PubMed:8196548). Represses transcription of the mtrCDE-encoded efflux pump by binding within the mtrCDE promoter (PubMed:9209024, PubMed:23221802). Also negatively regulates the expression of farR, by binding to its promoter region, leading indirectly to the positive regulation of expression of the farAB-encoded efflux pump (PubMed:14645274).[1] [2] [3] [4]
