The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU34760

Phenotypes of a mutant

  • unable to grow with gluconeogenic substrates as single carbon source PubMed
  • filamentous or L-shape-like aberrant morphologies (suppressed by Mg++) PubMed, this is supressed by overexpression of MreB or by deletion of ponA (PBP1 ) PubMed

Additional information

Expression and regulation

  • Regulation: very weak stimuation of expression by citrate and succinate PubMed
  • Regulatory mechanism:
  • Additional information:
    • translation is likely to require Efp due to the presence of several consecutive proline residues PubMed
