Description of Target: Member of the two-component regulatory system PhoP/PhoQ involved in adaptation to low Mg2+ environments and the control of acid resistance genes. In low periplasmic Mg2+, PhoQ phosphorylates PhoP, resulting in the expression of PhoP-activated genes (PAG) and repression of PhoP-repressed genes (PRG). In high periplasmic Mg2+, PhoQ dephosphorylates phospho-PhoP, resulting in the repression of PAG and may lead to expression of some PRG.
