  • KEGG entry: [3]
  • E.C. number:

Additional information

Expression and regulation

  • Regulation:
    • expressed under conditions that trigger sporulation (Spo0A) PubMed
    • repressed during logrithmic growth (AbrB) PubMed
    • induced by phosphate starvation (PhoP) PubMed
  • Additional information: Northern blotting during during phosphate limitation showed an intense 0.25 kb skfA-specific transcript, and a weaker 6.5 kb skfA-skfB-skfC-skfE-skfF-skfG-skfH transcript. The skfA transcript is stabilized by a stem-loop structure in the skfA-skfB intergenic region. PubMed
