Abstract
Previous studies showed that a Ser/Thr protein kinase, SpkA, in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is involved in cell motility. The present study, in which DNA microarray analysis and electron microscopy were used, demonstrated that SpkA regulates the expression of putative pilA9-pilA10-pilA11-slr2018, pilA5-pilA6, and pilA1-pilA2 operons and is essential for the formation of thick pili.Entities:
