case <OC:Bacillaceae>
FUNCTIONCatalyzes the ATP- as well as the pyrophosphate-dependent phosphorylation of a specific serine residue 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 carbon sources (glucose, fructose, etc.) in the growth medium. Also phosphorylates/dephosphorylates the HPr-like catabolite repression protein crh on a specific serine residue. Therefore, by controlling the phosphorylation state of HPr and crh, HPrK/P is a sensor enzyme that plays a major role in the regulation of carbon metabolism and sugar transport: it mediates carbon catabolite repression (CCR), and regulates PTS-catalyzed carbohydrate uptake and inducer exclusion.

Comments This enzyme was originally called HPr kinase/phosphatase, but P-Ser-HPr dephosphorylation was recently found to follow a quite unique mechanism, in which Pi instead of H(2)O is used for the nucleophilic attack on the phosphoryl group. P-Ser-HPr dephosphorylation is therefore not a phosphohydrolysis but a phosphophosphorolysis reaction, and the bifunctional enzyme was dubbed HPr kinase/phosphorylase. The regulatory role(s) of HPrK/P in bacterial physiology may be quite diverse. In low GC Gram-positive bacteria, HPr kinase/phosphorylase plays a major role in the regulation of carbon metabolism as it is a bifunctional sensor enzyme for CCR, PTS-catalyzed sugar transport and inducer exclusion. But HPRK/P must carry out different regulatory functions in Gram-negative bacteria, as these bacteria are devoid of ccpA protein, and a functional PTS also seems to be absent. The gene organization in many hprK-containing Gram-negative bacteria strongly suggest that HPrK/P regulates either a two-component sensory system implicated in cell adhesion/virology or rpoN-like sigma-factors. In Fusobacterium nucleatum, this protein is composed of two complete HPrK/P domains fused in tandem.
