The CodY regulon

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU16170

Phenotypes of a mutant

  • no swarming motility on B medium. PubMed
  • the mutation suppresses the mucoid phenotype of motA or motB mutants due to loss of DegU phosphorylation and concomitant reduced expression of the capB-capC-capA-capE operon PubMed
  • inactivation of codY suppresses the requirement of a relA sasA sasB triple mutant for branched chain amino acids, methionine and threonine PubMed

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:
  • Protein family: codY family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Paralogous protein(s):

Genes/ operons controlled by CodY

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains: contains a GAF domain (ligand binding domain)
  • Modification: phosphorylation on Ser-215 PubMed
  • Effectors of protein activity: GTP and branched chained amino acids (BCAA) increase the affinity of CodY for its DNA target sequences PubMed

Database entries

  • Structure: 2B0L (C-terminal DNA-binding domain), 2GX5 (N-terminal Gaf domain)
  • KEGG entry: [3]
  • E.C. number:

Additional information

Expression and regulation

  • Regulation:
    • repressed during growth in the presence of branched chain amino acids (CodY) PubMed
  • Regulatory mechanism:
  • Additional information:
    • the intracellular concentration of CodY is about 2.5 myM (according to PubMed)

Biological materials

  • Expression vector:
    • for expression, purification in E. coli with N-terminal His-tag, in pWH844: pGP245, available in Stülke lab
  • lacZ fusion:
  • GFP fusion:
  • two-hybrid system:
  • Antibody:
