PrrA is a DNA binding protein and a essential part of the two-component signal transduction regulatory system, PrrBA. ''Rhodobacter capsulatus'' contains RegA considered a homologue to PrrA protein in ''R. sphaeroides''. PrrA is proposed to be a master regulator/response regulator involved in oxygen regulation of photosynthesis genes expression responding to changes to the rate of electron flow as means to maintain redox balance, such as a balance between energy production and energy consumption in the cell | PrrA is a DNA binding protein and a essential part of the two-component signal transduction regulatory system, PrrBA.

PrrB is considered a sensor histidine kinase bound to the cytoplasmic membrane that can phosphorylate PrrA when it senses changes the aforementioned changes in the cell. Interestingly, “1,058 genes were proposed to be regulated out of 4,284 genes as represented on the GeneChip of ''R. sphaeroides'' 2.4.1” by PrrA | PrrB is considered a sensor histidine kinase bound to the cytoplasmic membrane that can phosphorylate PrrA when it senses changes the aforementioned changes in the cell.
