The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU27600

Phenotypes of a mutant

  • requirement for valine PubMed
  • a relA sasA sasB triple mutant requires branched chain amino acids, methionine and threonine for growth, the requirement can be suppressed by reduced expression of guaB or inactivation of codY PubMed
  • mutation in relA results increased motility and chaining PubMed
  • relA mutation increases flagellin production via elevated SigD level PubMed
