Ligands: MG Related: 3w41, 3w42, 3w43, 3w44, 3w45 Gene: BSU04740, rsbX (BACSU) Activity: Phosphoserine phosphatase, with EC number 3.1.3.3 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [RSBX_BACSU] Negative regulator of sigma-B activity. Dephosphorylates RsbS. Plays a role both in maintaining low sigma-B activity during growth and in reestablishing prestress sigma-B activity after induction. Could have a negative feedback role by indirectly communicating sigma-B protein levels. Publication Abstract from PubMed In the general stress response of Bacillus subtilis, which is governed by the sigma factor sigma(B), stress signalling is relayed by a cascade of Rsb proteins that regulate sigma(B) activity. RsbX, a PPM II phosphatase, halts the response by dephosphorylating the stressosome composed of RsbR and RsbS. The crystal structure of RsbX reveals a reorganization of the catalytic centre, with the second Mn(2+) ion uniquely coordinated by Gly47 O from the beta4-alpha1 loop instead of a water molecule as in PPM I phosphatases. An extra helical turn of alpha1 tilts the loop towards the metal-binding site, and the beta2-beta3 loop swings outwards to accommodate this tilting. The residues critical for this defining feature of the PPM II phosphatases are highly conserved. Formation of the catalytic centre is metal-specific, as crystallization with Mg(2+) ions resulted in a shift of the beta4-alpha1 loop that led to loss of the second ion. RsbX also lacks the flap subdomain characteristic of PPM I phosphatases. On the basis of a stressosome model, the activity of RsbX towards RsbR-P and RsbS-P may be influenced by the different accessibilities of their phosphorylation sites.
