Detailed information    

experimental Experimentally validated

Overview

Name   mecA   Type   Regulator
Locus tag   SPD_RS06395 Genome accession   NC_008533
Coordinates   1224685..1225422 (-) Length   245 a.a.
NCBI ID   WP_000782664.1    Uniprot ID   -
Organism   Streptococcus pneumoniae D39     
Function   degradation of ComW   
Competence regulation

Function

ComW is a target of the Clp machinery and was shown to be degraded by ClpCP. This degradation is likely to require the adaptor protein MecA, an obligate partner of ClpC, as MecA inactivation leads to ComW stabilisation.
