Gene

Coordinates on the chromosome (coding sequence)

Phenotypes of a mutant

  • From unsuccessful trials to knock out the gene it was concluded that csaA apparently is essential. However, in a conditional mutant (Pspac-csaA), depletion of the gene product is not lethal. But secretion of some proteins including SdpC was reported to be affected unter such conditions.PubMed
