The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: transport and phosphorylation of glucose, receives a phosphate from HPr at the IIA domain (His-620), the phosphate group is then transferred to the IIB domain (Cys-461) an finally to the incoming glucose. In the absence of glucose, PtsG phosphorylates and thereby inactivates the transcriptional antiterminator GlcT.
  • Protein family: PTS enzyme II, glucose family
  • Paralogous protein(s):
