Structural highlights
Function
LYTR_STAA8 Member of the two-component regulatory system LytR/LytS that regulates genes involved in autolysis, programmed cell death, biofilm formation and cell wall metabolism (PubMed:19502411). Participates also in sensing and responding to host defense cationic antimicrobial peptides (HDPs) (PubMed:23733465). Upon phosphorylation by LytS, functions as a transcription regulator by direct binding to promoter regions of target genes including lrgA and lrgB, to positively regulate their expression (PubMed:8824633, PubMed:25491472).[1] [2] [3] [4]
