Berrylium Fluoride activated receiver domain of E.coli PhoP
Structural highlights
Function[PHOP_ECOLI] Member of the two-component regulatory system PhoP/PhoQ involved in adaptation to low Mg(2+) environments and the control of acid resistance genes. In low periplasmic Mg(2+), PhoQ phosphorylates PhoP, resulting in the expression of PhoP-activated genes (PAG) and repression of PhoP-repressed genes (PRG). In high periplasmic Mg(2+), PhoQ dephosphorylates phospho-PhoP, resulting in the repression of PAG and may lead to expression of some PRG (By similarity). Mediates magnesium influx to the cytosol by activation of MgtA. Promotes expression of the two-component regulatory system rstA/rstB and transcription of the hemL, mgrB, nagA, slyB, vboR and yrbL genes.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe response regulator PhoP is part of the PhoQ/PhoP two-component system involved in responses to depletion of extracellular Mg(2+). Here, we report the crystal structures of the receiver domain of Escherichia coli PhoP determined in the absence and presence of the phosphoryl analog beryllofluoride. In the presence of beryllofluoride, the active receiver domain forms a twofold symmetric dimer similar to that seen in structures of other regulatory domains from the OmpR/PhoB family, providing further evidence that members of this family utilize a common mode of dimerization in the active state. In the absence of activating agents, the PhoP receiver domain crystallizes with a similar structure, consistent with the previous observation that high concentrations can promote an active state of PhoP independent of phosphorylation.
