Rsp1275 is a member of the Fnr-Crp family of transcriptional regulators. Homologues of the Fnr protein from ''E. coli'' have been identified in a variety of taxonomically diverse bacterial species. <ref>Spiro, S. 1994. The FNR family of transcriptional regulators.

The modeling of 7 of them were successfully obtained using 3D-Jigsaw, all being very similar in structure to Crp (the only one with crystal structure solved). The DNA binding domain helix-turn-helix is located in the C-terminal, and the N-terminal part contains the allosteric effector domain. Rsp1275 has been linked with salt-tolerance in ''Rhodobacter spheroides''. Different genes coding for the Fnr-Crp proteins of unknown function have been cloned and a multicopy test was performed to evaluate these as potential regulators of NaCl-responsive genes.

=Evidence of Fnr-Crp protein Involvement in Transcriptional Response to NaCl=
It has been proposed that Fnr-Crp protein encoded by rsp1275 is a transcription factor responsible for salt-responsive changes in the transcriptome. In addition, it's likely that rsp1275 interacts with a small ligand (potentially Na or Cl).
