Disease relevance of kpsT

 

High impact information on kpsT

  • The derivatization of KpsT by this reagent is inhibited by cold ATP or ATP gamma S. Furthermore, the protein seems to require a membrane environment for efficient photolabeling, but does not require any other kps gene products [1].
  • Results obtained from saturation mutagenesis of the ATP-binding consensus sequence of KpsT and the phenotypes of strains with defined mutations in the chromosomal gene, are consistent with the view that ATP-binding by KpsT is required for transport of polymer across the inner membrane [1].
  • RfbD and RfbE were similar to capsular polysaccharide export proteins, e.g. KpsM and KpsT of Escherichia coli [3].
  • We propose that the KpsT protein acts as an energizer, coupling ATP hydrolysis to the transport process mediated by the KpsM protein [2].
  • Evidence that KpsT, the ATP-binding component of an ATP-binding cassette transporter, is exposed to the periplasm and associates with polymer during translocation of the polysialic acid capsule of Escherichia coli K1 [4].
 

Anatomical context of kpsT

  • We propose that KpsM and KpsT constitute a system for transport of polysialic acid across the cytoplasmic membrane [5].
 

Associations of kpsT with chemical compounds

  • The KpsC, KpsS, and KpsT proteins involved in polysaccharide transport were associated with the inner membrane and this membrane association occurred in the absence of any other capsule-related proteins [6].
  • All mutations mapped to the same glutamic acid residue at position 150, adjacent to Walker motif B of KpsT [7].
 

Other interactions of kpsT

  • The KfiA and KfiC, together with the KpsC, KpsS and KpsT proteins, were purified and polyclonal antisera to each protein generated [6].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of kpsT

  • Results of site-directed mutagenesis of the putative ATP-binding domain of KpsT are consistent with the view that KpsT is a nucleotide-binding protein [5].
