This gene is a member of the following regulons
The gene
Basic information
- Locus tag: BSU38860
Phenotypes of a mutant
- smooth colonies on MsGG medium, no biofilm formation in the absence of externally provided galactose PubMed
- the mutant is sensitive to exogenous galactose due to the accumulation of toxic UDP-galactose, this sensitivity can be suppressed by the inactivation of galK (no formation of the toxic UDP-galactose) or of sinR (constitutive expression of the epsA-epsB-epsC-epsD-epsE-epsF-epsG-epsH-epsI-epsJ-epsK-epsL-epsM-epsN-epsO results in detoxification of UDP-galactose) PubMed
