Abstract excerpt
HPr kinase/phosphatase (HPrK/P) is the key protein in regulation of carbon metabolism in Bacillus subtilis and many other Gram-positive bacteria. Whether this enzyme acts as a kinase or phosphatase is determined by the nutrient status of the cell. Mutational analysis of residues in a Walker A box nucleotide-binding motif revealed that it is not only important for kinase but is also involved in phosphatase...
