Basic information/ Evolution

• Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:
  • binds to and thereby inhibits ComA activity PubMed
  • RapH dephosphorylates Spo0F-P and thereby controls the phosphorelay PubMed
  • in addition to dephosphorylating Spo0F, RapH can antagonize sporulation by sterically blocking phosphoryl transfer to and from Spo0F PubMed
