General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction inactivation of the glpQ gene results in reduced growth in medium with glucose as the carbon source, in loss of hydrogen peroxide production when phosphatidylcholine is present, and in a complete loss of cytotoxicity towards HeLa cells, and the glpQ mutant strain exhibited a reduced gliding velocity, overview. The phenotype is reversible par complementation with the wild-type enzyme Mycoplasma pneumoniae
additional information a second glycerophosphodiesterase enzyme, MPN566, is catalytically inactive and its deletion does not cause an altered phenotype Mycoplasma pneumoniae
physiological function GlpQ is implicated in the control of gene expression, apparent regulation by GlpQ is exerted at the level of transcription. All genes subject to GlpQ-dependent control have a conserved potential cis-acting element upstream of the coding region. This element overlaps the promoter in the case of the genes that are repressed in a GlpQ-dependent manner and it is located upstream of the promoter for GlpQ-activated genes. GlpQ is central to the normal physiology and to pathogenicity of the minimal pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae
