Disease relevance of prlC

Location of the prlC (opdA) gene on the physical map of Escherichia coli [1].
Escherichia coli prlC encodes an endopeptidase and is homologous to the Salmonella typhimurium opdA gene [2].

High impact information on prlC

A plasmid carrying an amber mutation in prlC [prlC31(AM)] was unable to complement except in an amber suppressor background [2].
The nucleotide sequence of the prlC1 suppressor allele was determined and predicts an in-frame duplication of seven amino acids, providing further confirmation that the prlC suppressor phenotype results from changes in the endopeptidase OpdA [2].
