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 |

additional information |
a second glycerophosphodiesterase enzyme, MPN566, is catalytically inactive and its deletion does not cause an altered phenotype |

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 |
