Identification
Name:Sensor protein torS
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:torS
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Signal transduction mechanisms
Specific Function:Member of the two-component regulatory system torS/torR involved in the anaerobic utilization of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). Detects the presence of TMAO in the medium and, in response, activates torR via a four-step phosphorelay. When TMAO is removed, torS can dephosphorylate torR, probably by a reverse phosphorelay involving His-860 and Asp-733
