The histidine-containing phosphocarrier protein (HPr) from Bacillus subtilis has been crystallized. Two of the site-directed mutants aimed at probing function produce crystals suitable for X-ray studies. The mutant in which His15 is substituted by an alanyl residue crystallizes from ammonium sulfate solution in space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with unit cell dimensions: a = b = 47.3 A; c = 61.5 A. These crystals diffract to at least 1.8 A resolution. The mutant in which Ser46 is substituted by an aspartyl residue crystallizes from polyethylene glycol 4000 solution in space group P2(1), with unit cell dimensions: a = 49.4 A; b = 25.6 A; c = 60.3 A; beta = 109 degrees. These crystals diffract to at least 2.0 A resolution.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010731 Phosphoenolpyruvate Sugar Phosphotransferase System The bacterial sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) that catalyzes the transfer of the phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate to its sugar substrates (the PTS sugars) concomitant with the translocation of these sugars across the bacterial membrane. The phosphorylation of a given sugar requires four proteins, two general proteins, Enzyme I and HPr and a pair of sugar-specific proteins designated as the Enzyme II complex. The PTS has also been implicated in the induction of synthesis of some catabolic enzyme systems required for the utilization of sugars that are not substrates of the PTS as well as the regulation of the activity of ADENYLYL CYCLASES.
