Transcriptional regulator, GTP and BCAA-dependent; DNA-binding protein that represses the expression of many genes that are induced as cells make the transition from rapid exponential growth to stationary phase and sporulation. It is a GTP- binding protein that senses the intracellular GTP concentration as an indicator of nutritional limitations. At low GTP concentration it no longer binds GTP and stop to act as a transcriptional repressor.

HTH-type transcriptional regulator Hpr; Negative regulator of protease production and sporulation. Acts by binding directly to the promoter of protease genes (aprE and nprE), and by repressing oligopeptide permease operons (appABCDF and oppABCDF), thereby preventing uptake of oligopeptides required for initiation of sporulation. Acts with SinR as a corepressor of epr expression.

Catabolite repression HPr-like protein; Along with seryl-phosphorylated HPr, phosphorylated Crh is implicated in carbon catabolite repression (CCR) of levanase, inositol dehydrogenase, and beta-xylosidase. Exerts its effect on CCR by interacting with CcpA.

Serine/threonine protein kinase/phosphorylase; Catalyzes the ATP- as well as the pyrophosphate-dependent phosphorylation of 'Ser-45' in HPr, a phosphocarrier protein of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS). HprK/P also catalyzes the pyrophosphate-producing, inorganic phosphate- dependent dephosphorylation (phosphorolysis) of seryl-phosphorylated HPr (P-Ser-HPr). The two antagonistic activities of HprK/P are regulated by several intracellular metabolites, which change their concentration in response to the absence or presence of rapidly metabolisable c [...]

Acetate kinase; Catalyzes the formation of acetyl phosphate from acetate and ATP. Can also catalyze the reverse reaction. Appears to favor the formation of acetate. Involved in the secretion of excess carbohydrate.

Negative regulator of gluconeogenesis; Transcription repressor that binds to the promoter of gapB and pckA genes, preventing their expression. Acts as a regulator for catabolite repression of gluconeogenic genes.

Citrate synthase II; Might regulate the synthesis and function of enzymes involved in later enzymatic steps of Krebs cycle. Loss in activity results in sporulation defect; Belongs to the citrate synthase family.

Phosphotransferase system (PTS) enzyme I; General (non sugar-specific) component of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS). This major carbohydrate active-transport system catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. Enzyme I transfers the phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to the phosphoryl carrier protein (HPr).

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; Involved in the glycolysis. Catalyzes the oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) to 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) using the cofactor NAD. The first reaction step involves the formation of a hemiacetal intermediate between G3P and a cysteine residue, and this hemiacetal intermediate is then oxidized to a thioester, with concomitant reduction of NAD to NADH. The reduced NADH is then exchanged with the second NAD, and the thioester is attacked by a nucleophilic inorganic phosphate to produce BPG.
