Phenotypes of a mutant
The ''pnpA'' mutant is cold sensitive and sensitive to tetracyclin, it shows multiseptate filamentous growth. [Pubmed|8636041]The mutant is deficient in genetic competence (no expression of the late competence genes) [Pubmed|8825779]The ''[gene|64C6D783FF3F41C81B216F798A1DC8071345B1ED|pnpA]'' mutant exhibits reduced motility and reduced expression of the [SW|fla-che operon] [Pubmed|26857544]The mutant overexpresses the ''trp'' and ''[gene|1F548515402950572E7212901729B2480432D1B9|putB]-[gene|2042F691CB37B1BAFE2CF3906A9F7F47457C3995|putC]-[gene|B3DF99B747D0A7472E3878920BF3CE7CE954B0BE|putP]'' operons.accumulation of ''[gene|C17C296F3EB2E106C380E3B5D784F3FA63F4C9B7|slrA]'' mRNA [Pubmed|26857544]The protein
