DESCRIPTION

Also known as RFAP_PSEAE, rfaP, waaP. Catalyzes the phosphorylation of heptose(I) of the outer membrane lipopolysaccharide core. The phosphorylation of the lipopolysaccharide core seems to occur prior to translocation to the periplasm and attachment of O-antigen. Also has protein-tyrosine kinase activity: autophosphorylates on all Tyr residues; in vitro can phosphorylate poly(Glu, Tyr).
