Phenotypes of a mutant

  • the mutation suppresses the mucoid phenotype of motA or motB mutants due to loss of DegU phosphorylation and concomitant reduced expression of the capB-capC-capA-capE operon PubMed
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • autophosphorylation
  • phosphorylation of ComA when bound to ComX
  • ATP + protein L-histidine --> ADP + protein N-phospho-L-histidine (according to UniProt)
  • Domains

  • eight transmembrane segments
  • Histidine kinase domain (aa 571-769) (according to UniProt)
  • Modification

  • autophosphorylation on a His residue
  • Effectors of protein activity

  • ComX (extracellular)
  • Localization

  • cell membrane PubMed
