Abstract excerpt
In the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis as well as in other firmicutes, the HPr protein of the phosphotransferase system (PTS) has two distinct phosphorylation sites, His-15 and Ser-46. These sites are phosphorylated by the Enzyme I of the PTS and by the ATP-dependent HPr kinase/phosphorylase, respectively. As a result, the phosphorylation state of HPr reflects the nutrient supply of the cell and is in...
