Response regulator aspartate phosphatases
These proteins contain the so-called tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs) protein-protein interaction module. They control the phosphorelay for sporulation initiation by dephosphorylating Spo0F-P or they inhibit transcription factors by protein-protein interaction (without affecting phosphorylation). The activity of these proteins can be controlled by small peptides that are expressed as precursors, exported, and re-imported into the cell.
