In Streptococcus pneumoniae, this function is reached by achieving the competence state, which is under the control of the ComD-ComE two-component system. We present the crystal and solution structures of ComE. We mimicked the active and non-active states by using the phosphorylated mimetic ComED58E and the unphosphorylatable ComED58A mutants. In the crystal, full-length ComED58A dimerizes through its canonical REC receiver domain but with an atypical mode, which is also adopted by the isolated RECD58A and RECD58E. The LytTR domain adopts a tandem arrangement consistent with the two direct repeats of its promoters. However ComED58A is monomeric in solution, as seen by SAXS, by contrast to ComED58E that dimerizes. For both, a relative mobility between the two domains is assumed. Based on these results we propose two possible ways for activation of ComE by phosphorylation.
