Recombinant Bacillus subtilis Competence regulatory protein ComQ Lys2-Thr299

Competence regulatory protein ComQ is a key component of the quorum-sensing system in Bacillus subtilis that regulates genetic competence development. This membrane-associated protein is involved in the maturation of ComX, a competence pheromone. ComQ functions as a tryptophan prenyltransferase, catalyzing the transfer of a farnesyl group to ComX. It belongs to the FPP/GGPP synthase family and plays a crucial role in bacterial cell-cell communication and competence regulation. This recombinant protein is valuable for studying quorum sensing mechanisms and competence development in gram-positive bacteria.
