• Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:

• Protein family: ctsR family (according to Swiss-Prot)

• Paralogous protein(s):

Extended information on the protein

• Kinetic information:

• Domains:

• Modification: phosphorylation of a tyrosine residue by McsB PubMed, recently, it was reported thatCtsR is phosphorylatedby McsB on Arg-62 rather than on a tyrosine residue PubMed

• Cofactor(s):

• Effectors of protein activity: probably activated by dephosphorylation by McsA and inactivated by phosphorylation by McsB PubMed1 PubMed2, regulated proteolysis by ClpP/ClpC PubMed, PubMed, PubMed
