Disease relevance of ctpA

 

High impact information on ctpA

  • The ctpA gene encodes the C-terminal processing protease for the D1 protein of the photosystem II reaction center complex [1].
  • To study the function of the CtpA protein, we inactivated the ctpA gene by inserting a kanamycin-resistance gene into its coding sequence [1].
  • Here, we studied the effect of ctpA gene inactivation on the B. burgdorferi protein expression profile [3].
  • The ctpA gene does not directly affect the erythrocyte-invasion phenotype conferred by ialAB, but its homology to other stress-response processing proteases implies an important role in survival of this intracellular pathogen [4].
  • The Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 ctp gene family members ctpA (slr0008), ctpB (slr0257) and ctpC (slr1751), encoding carboxyl-terminal endoproteases (Ctps), were studied at levels of gene transcription and protein structure [5].
