Protein phosphorylation is a post-translational modification that affects protein activity
through the addition of a phosphate moiety by protein kinases or phosphotransferases. It …

The heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus brevis transports galactose and
the nonmetabolizable galactose analogue thiomethyl-β-galactoside (TMG) by a permease …

The trehalose operon of Bacillus subtilis is subject to regulation by induction, mediated by
the repressor TreR, and by carbon catabolite repression (CCR). For in vitro investigations …

HPr kinase/phosphatase (HPrK/P) is the key protein in regulation of carbon metabolism in
Bacillus subtilis and many other Gram-positive bacteria. Whether this enzyme acts as a …

The Lactococcus lactis ptsH and ptsI genes, encoding the general proteins of the
phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system, HPr and enzyme I …

The solution structure and dynamics of the Bacillus subtilis HPr-like protein, Crh, have been
investigated using NMR spectroscopy. Crh exhibits high sequence identity (45%) to the …

Abstract Background The thermophilic anaerobe Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum
is capable of directly fermenting xylan and the biomass-derived sugars glucose, cellobiose …

Carbon catabolite protein A (CcpA) is a global regulator of carbon metabolism in gram-
positive bacteria, repressing transcription of genes for the utilization of secondary carbon …

Summary Bacillus subtilis CcpC, a LysR‐type transcriptional regulator, represses the
transcription of genes for citrate synthase (citZ) and aconitase (citB) in response to citrate …
