This gene is a member of the following regulons

The LicT regulon: bglP-bglH-yxiE, bglS

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU39080

Phenotypes of a mutant

no expression of the bglP-bglH operon

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: binding to the mRNAs of bglS and the bglP-bglH operon, causes transcription antitermination (in presence of salicin and absence of glucose)

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
    • K(D) for the RAT-RNA: 10 nM PubMed
  • Domains:
    • N-terminal RNA binding domain Pubmed
    • 2xPRD (PTS regulation domains) PubMed
  • Modification:
    • phosphorylation at His-100 in PRD-1 by phosphorylated BglP, inhibits LicT antitermination activity
    • phosphorylation at His-207 and/or His-269 in PRD-2 by His-P-HPr, stimulates LicT antitermination activity
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:
  • Localization:
    • cytoplasm, even distribution in the absence of the inducer salicin, subpolar localization in the presence of salicin PubMed

Database entries

  • Structure: 1L1C (complex with RAT), 1TLV (PRDs)
  • KEGG entry: [3]
  • E.C. number:
