Phenotypes of a mutant

• reduced expression of [gene|1BC439BBCD5FE19D5780519D7E4317C2EFF0D21B|trxB], due to reduced [protein|2C6386E9A63F410558D168798D077DF91590F454|Spx] activity [pubmed|30962353]

The protein

Protein family

• CtsR family (single member, according to UniProt)

Modification

• phosphorylated on Arg-55 (phosphorylation serves as tag for degradation by [protein|86A2F2F65290F4471D6FD03B694821C66C180D8A|ClpC]-[protein|CB06A70DE7462CEB7AF5D8C28943C878DD56DE1A|ClpP]) [Pubmed|27749819]
• phosphorylation of a tyrosine residue by [protein|7B1B664A1AE1F641E8E7D9E2894D5C8FFFA92948|McsB] [Pubmed|14984053]
• recently, it was reported that CtsR is phosphorylated by [protein|7B1B664A1AE1F641E8E7D9E2894D5C8FFFA92948|McsB] on Arg-62 rather than on a tyrosine residue [Pubmed|19498169]
• in addition, Arg-15 was reported to be a phosphorylation site [Pubmed|22517742]

Effectors of protein activity

• CtsR is inactivated by heat, heat sensing requires Gly-64 [Pubmed|20852588]
• non-phosphorylated [protein|7B1B664A1AE1F641E8E7D9E2894D5C8FFFA92948|McsB] targets CtsR for degradation [Pubmed|20852588]
• regulated proteolysis by [protein|CB06A70DE7462CEB7AF5D8C28943C878DD56DE1A|ClpP]/[protein|86A2F2F65290F4471D6FD03B694821C66C180D8A|ClpC] [Pubmed|11179229,16163393,17380125]

Structure

• [PDB|3H0D] (complex with a 26bp DNA duplex, from ''Geobacillus stearothermophilus'') [Pubmed|19498169]
• [PDB|6FH4] (C-terminal domain bound to phosphoarginine) [pubmed|30962626]

additional information

• subject to Clp-dependent proteolysis upon glucose starvation [pubmed|17981983]
• information on binding sites can be found in the [http://www.prodoric2.de/detail.php?acc=MX000017 PRODORIC2 database]
