EnvZ undergoes autophosphorylation at His243 and subsequently transfers the phosphate group to OmpR. EnvZ also possesses an OmpR-phosphate phosphatase activity. We examined the role of His243 in the phosphatase function by replacing His with either Val, Tyr, Ser, Asp, or Asn. EnvZH243V and EnvZH243Y were both shown to possess phosphatase activity in vitro. In addition, the mutant proteins were able to reduce the high level of OmpR-phosphate present in the envZ473 strain. These results indicate that His243 of EnvZ is not essential for stimulating the dephosphorylation of OmpR-phosphate.
EnvZ在His243处发生自身磷酸化,随后将磷酸基团转移至OmpR。EnvZ还具有OmpR - 磷酸磷酸酶活性。我们通过将His分别替换为Val、Tyr、Ser、Asp或Asn来研究His243在磷酸酶功能中的作用。EnvZH243V和EnvZH243Y在体外均显示具有磷酸酶活性。此外,突变蛋白能够降低envZ473菌株中高水平的OmpR - 磷酸。这些结果表明,EnvZ的His243对于刺激OmpR - 磷酸的去磷酸化并非必不可少。
