luxP | ABC transporter substrate-binding protein; Binds to the signaling molecule autoinducer 2 (AI-2), a furanosyl borate diester, (3a-methyl-5,6-dihydrofuro- [2,3d][1,3,2]dioxaborole-2,2,6,6a-tetraol). This complex then interacts with the LuxQ sensor protein. (365 aa) | ||||
luxQ | ATPase; At low cell density, in absence of AI-2 (autoinducer 2), LuxQ has a kinase activity and autophosphorylates on a histidine residue. The phosphoryl group is then transferred to an aspartate residue in the response regulator domain. The phosphoryl group is transferred to LuxU, and ultimately to LuxO. At high cell density, in the presence of AI-2, the kinase activity is inactivated, and the response regulator domain has a phosphatase activity. (859 aa) |
