Abstract
Background: PmrD binds to phospho-PmrA and sustains its phosphorylation state. Results: Phospho-PmrA interacts with PmrD via several specific intermolecular interactions. Conclusion: A steric inhibition mechanism was proposed for protecting phospho-PmrA against dephosphorylation. Significance: This work provides novel data revealing how a connector protein protects an activated response regulator.
