Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma pneumoniae belongs to the mollicutes, a group of bacteria that have strongly reduced genomes but that are nevertheless capable of independent life. With only three transcription factors, the regulatory features of these bacteria are very limited. Thus, posttranslational regulation might be important for M. pneumoniae. In addition to the highly specific HPr kinase, the M. pneumoniae prkC gene encodes...
