Disease relevance of prpB

  • The expression and regulatory properties of a propionate-regulated overexpression system (Salmonella enterica prpBCDE promoter (P(prpB)) and positive regulator (prpR)) were evaluated in wild-type S. enterica serovar Typhimurium TR6583 and prpB(-) or prpD(-) versions of this strain and compared with the arabinose-regulated T7 expression system [1].
  • In addition, both PrpA and PrpB modulate the phosphorylated status of some other phosphoproteins in E. coli [2].
  • Based on the structure of ligand-bound isocitrate lyase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis a model of the substrate-bound PrpB enzyme in its closed conformation was created which provides hints towards the substrate specificity of this enzyme [3].
  • PrpB exhibits 34% sequence identity with carboxyphosphoenolpyruvate phosphonomutase from Streptomyces hygroscopicus, in which the essential cysteine residue is conserved [4].
 

High impact information on prpB

  • A possible impact of this observation with respect to the different responses of isocitrate lyases and PrpB upon treatment with the common inhibitor 3-bromopyruvate is discussed [3].
  • Since in the presented structure, PrpB contains, apart from a Mg(2+), no ligand, the active site loop is found in an open conformation [3].
  • The levels of PrpC and PrpB activity were much lower in propionate-negative mutant IPT189 obtained from IPT101(T) and were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli [5].
  • The apparent K(a) of PrpA for Mn(2+) of 65 microM was comparable to that for other bacterial phosphatases, but PrpB had a much higher affinity for Mn(2+) (1.3 microM) [6].
  • Here we report the X-ray crystal structure of the native and the pyruvate/Mg(2+) bound PrpB from S. typhimurium, determined at 2.1 and 2.3A, respectively [7].
