A mutation in the phoP/phoQ locus (pho-24) that results in unregulated
expression of PhoP-activated genes (phenotype PhoP constitutive [PhoP(c)])
was mapped to phoQ. Change of a Thr to Ile at position 48 of PhoQ was
responsible for the PhoP(c) phenotype (attenuation of mouse virulence,
defects in epithelial cell invasion, and macrophage spacious phagosome
formation). PhoP phosphorylation by membrane extracts required PhoQ, and
PhoQ Ile-48-containing membranes demonstrated increased net phosphorylation
of PhoP.
