Disease relevance of cmpB

One of the genes in this region has been sequenced, and the protein that it encodes is homologous to a polypeptide component of other permease systems of Escherichia coli and Salmonella [1].
Nitrate transport activity of the LtnT permease of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus is activated when LtnA, a response regulator without an effector domain, is phosphorylated by LtnB, a hybrid histidine kinase [2].
Amino acid transport in taxonomically diverse cyanobacteria and identification of two genes encoding elements of a neutral amino acid permease putatively involved in recapture of leaked hydrophobic amino acids [3].

High impact information on cmpB

Organization and transcription of a putative gene cluster encoding ribosomal protein S14 and an oligopeptide permease-like protein in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 6301 [4].
