DNA-binding protein that activates transcription of RNA binding protein VTS1/RBP1 (PubMed:32391887). Required for cell integrity (PubMed:32391887). Decreases RNA level of genes involved in cell wall biogenesis, fatty acid degradation, and carbon utilization (PubMed:32391887). Ruptured membranes, degranulated rough endoplasmic reticulum, irregular and thin cell wall (PubMed:32391887). Abnormal mitochondrial morphology (PubMed:32391887). Decreases cell population viability (PubMed:32391887). Decreases virulence in a mouse inhalation infection model (PubMed:32391887).
