  • Description: Sda is a checkpoint protein that is upregulated in response to replication stress (Burkholder et al 2001, Cell). Sda inhibits the autokinase activity of KinA (and likely KinB as well). This in its turn results in reduced levels of Spo0A~P. Thus, replication stressed cells will not iniate sporulation

    Sda is rapidly turned over by the ClpP/X system because of some uncharged residues at its C-terminus Ruvolo et al 2006, MolMic.

Essential no
Product developmental checkpoint protein
