Additional information

PycA binds to StrepTactin, and may be co-purified when purifying Strep-tagged proteins by SPINE.

PycA is subject to Clp-dependent proteolysis upon glucose starvation PubMed

Expression and regulation

  • Regulation:
    • subject to positive stringent control upon lysine starvation PubMed
  • Regulatory mechanism:
    • stringent response: due to presence of adenines at +1 and +2 positions of the transcript PubMed
