UirR (UV intensity response Regulator)

UirR is a protein part native to the cyanobacterium, Synechocystis. Along with UirS, the proteins form a chromatic two-component system (Sensor and Regulator) to UV and green light (lambda = 534nm) which activates and represses UirS (K1725410), respectively. The protein is attached to the transmembrane protein UirS, which like its other cyanobacteriochrome analogue, ccaS (K608102) is a histidine kinase. After exposure to unidirectional UV-A, UirS releases UirR, which physically interacts with the lsiR promoter (K1725400), activating transcription. All three parts are required for a cell to respond to the UV-A stimulus.

For UirR with a ribosome binding site check K1725421.
