Abstract excerpt
The Staphylococcus xylosus gene hprK, encoding HPr kinase (HPrK), has been isolated from a genomic library. The HPrK enzyme, purified as a His(6) fusion protein, phosphorylated HPr, the phosphocarrier protein of the bacterial phosphotransferase system, at a serine residue in an ATP-dependent manner, and it also catalyzed the reverse reaction. Therefore, the enzyme constitutes a bifunctional HPr...
