Type: | Family | Name: | Sortase system, histidine kinase |
Description: | This histidine kinase protein is paired with an adjacent response regulator () gene. It co-occurs with a variant sortase enzyme (), usually in the same gene neighbourhood, in proteobacterial species most of which are marine, and with an LPXTG motif-containing sortase target conserved protein (). Sortases and LPXTG proteins are far more common in Gram-positive bacteria, where sortase systems mediate attachment to the cell wall or cross-linking of pilin structures. We give this predicted sensor histidine kinase the gene symbol psdS, for Proteobacterial Dedicated Sortase system Sensor histidine kinase. | Short Name: | Sortase_His-kinase |
