Experimentally validated

Overview

• Name: stkP
• Type: Regulator
• Locus tag: KZH43_RS07655
• Genome accession: NZ_CP079923
• Coordinates: 1547561..1549540 (-)
• Length: 659 a.a.
• NCBI ID: WP_220041236.1
• Uniprot ID: -
• Organism: Streptococcus pneumoniae Rx1
• Function: phosphorylate ComE Competence regulation

Function

StkP is involved in the regulation of cell wall synthesis and cell division/elongation in S. pneumoniae. A stkP mutant displays a strongly reduced natural transformability compared to wild type. StkP could phosphorylate ComE at Thr128 and the StkP/ComE pathway induced global changes in response to acidic stress.
