DESCRIPTION

Also known as KDPE_STAA8, kdpE. Member of the two-component regulatory system KdpD/KdpE that regulates the transcription of a series of virulence factors through sensing external K(+) concentrations. Regulates also capsular polysaccharide synthesis (PubMed:20498265). Upon phosphorylation by KpdD, functions as a transcriptional regulator by direct binding to promoter regions of target genes including spa, hla, aur and geh (PubMed:21422185). Represses the transcription of kdpFABC operon (PubMed:26195599).
