* '''Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:''' Transcriptional regulator of  many genes in response to thiol specific oxidative stress (transcription activator of'' [[trxA]]'' and ''[[trxB]]''). In addition, Spx inhibits transcription by binding to the C-terminal domain of the alpha subunit of RNAP ([[RpoA]]), disrupting complex formation between RNAP and certain transcriptional activator proteins like [[ResD]] and [[ComA]]. In response to thiol specific oxidative stress, Spx can also activate transcription, making it a general regulator that exerts both positive and negative control over transcription initiation.
