|---|---|---|
| malfunction | in domesticated Bacillus subtilis a promoter mutation decreases the rate of degQ transcription. The resulting low level of DegQ decreases DegU phosphorylation, relieving repression at the srfA promoter. As a result more ComS is synthesized and the degradation of ComK by MecA/ClpCP is decreased | Bacillus subtilis |
| physiological function | the regulation of the K-state in undomesticated strains of Bacillus subtilis requires the proper ratio of phosphorylated undunphosphorylated DegU, in accordance with the view that this protein acts as a rheostat for development | Bacillus subtilis |
