Phenotypes of a mutant
requirement for valine PubMeda relA sasA sasB triple mutant requires branched chain amino acids, methionine and threonine for growth, the requirement can be suppressed by reduced expression of guaB or inactivation of codY PubMeda relA sasA sasB triple mutant acquires suppressor mutations in guaA, guaB, gmk or inactivation of codY PubMedmutation in relA results in increased motility and chaining PubMedrelA mutation increases flagellin production via elevated SigD level PubMed The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
