General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | in response to starvation, Bacillus subtilis cells differentiate into different subsets, undergoing cannibalism, biofilm formation or sporulation. These processes require a multiple component phosphorelay, wherein the master regulator Spo0A is activated upon phosphorylation by one or a combination of five histidine kinases (KinA-KinE) via two intermediate phosphotransferases, Spo0F and Spo0B. KinC controls the expression of cannibalism genes in a manner independent of surfactin andthe bacterial flotillin-like proteins FloT and FloA | Bacillus subtilis |
additional information | the N-terminal transmembrane domain is dispensable but the PAS domain is needed for the kinase activity | Bacillus subtilis |
physiological function | enzyme KinC regulates cannibalism and biofilm formation, and activates the expression of cannibalism genes in response to starvation in a manner dependent on phosphorelay. KinC activity and the membrane localization are independent of both the lipid raft marker proteins FloTA and cytoplasmic potassium concentration. KinC becomes active by forming a homotetramer via the N-terminal PAS domain | Bacillus subtilis |
