ComD receptor for CSP-1 (S. pneumoniae), phosphorylates ComE


ComD is the histidine kinase of a two-component signal transduction signaling pathway in a Streptococcus pneumoniae quorum sensing system. It detects the linear autoinducing peptide (AIP) called Competence-Stimulating Peptide-1 (CSP-1)[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17328748] which is coded for by the comC gene. ComD is sensitive to ComC concentrations as low as 2-10 ng/ul[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7479953]. Upon detection of CSP-1, ComD will autophosphoylate and then phosphorylate and activate the response regulator, ComE BBa_K316016.
