Full Name: Escherichia coli Phosphocarrier protein HPr
BACKGROUND: General (non sugar-specific) component of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS). This major carbohydrate active-transport system catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. The phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is transferred to the phosphoryl carrier protein HPr by enzyme I. Phospho-HPr then transfers it to the PTS EIIA domain.
Synonyms: ptsH; hpr; Phosphocarrier protein HPr; Histidine-containing protein
