| Description | RcsA is a component of the Rcs phosphorelay signaling system. Pathways regulated by the Rcs system include maintenance of cell wall integrity, cell division, motility, and virulence. The pathway involves a histidine kinase (RcsC), a response regulator (RcsB), a phospho-transfer protein (RcsD), a signal transductor (RcsF) and the auxiliary activator protein (RcsA) [ , ]. The response regulator RcsB associates with an unstable protein RcsA to bind to an RcsAB box in the promoter region of several genes, though not all genes require RcsA [, ]. RcsA and RcsB regulate the polysialic and colanic acids metabolism in Escherichia coli []. |
