K-P+ and K+P- mutations

06.16.09 email from Mike: As for the EnvZ mutants, here's the list we've compiled from the literature. Keep in mind that K+P- really means a shift in the balance of kinase and phosphatase activities and similarly for the K-P+ alleles. None of them is perfectly "clean" in eliminating one of the activities:

K+P-

  • V241G
  • G240E
  • S242D
  • P248Q
  • T247R
  • Q283P
  • Y287D
  • L288P

K-P+

  • A239T
  • N343K
  • F390L
  • H243A
