| Function Uniprot | Acts as a negative controlling element, employing Zn(2+) as a cofactor to bind the operator of the repressed genes. Required for the zinc-specific repression of two operons implicated in zinc uptake, yciC and ycdHIyceA. Also represses the expression of rpmE2, the gene for ribosomal protein L31B, which is expressed only after the end of exponential growth. |
