Extended information on the protein

• Kinetic information:

• Domains: N-terminal DNA-binding domains, two PTS-regulation domains (PRD1 and PRD2), EIIB (Gat)-like domain, EIIA (Mtl)-like domain

• Modification:
  • phosphorylated on His-342 and/or His-399 by PtsH PubMed
  • phosphorylation on His-599 by MtlA PubMed
  • phosphorylation on Cys-419 by MtlF PubMed

• Cofactor(s):

• Effectors of protein activity:
  • activity is stimulated by PtsH-dependent phosphorylation in PRD2 (mechnism of carbon catabolite repression) PubMed
  • activity is inhibited by MtlF-dependent phosphorylation in the EIIB(Gat)-like domain on Cys-419 (this prevents activity in the absence of mannitol and allows induction in presence of mannitol) PubMed
