This entry represents the SiaC family regulatory phosphoprotein which undergoes a regulatory phosphorylation at Thr-68 of founder protein PA0170 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but in more distant homologs, T can be S. Also, it is part of motif NTSS, so may contain more than one phosphorylation site. Phosphorylation causes regulatory change to protein-protein interaction, in a pathway that seems broadly distributed, involves a diguanylate cyclase, and in the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa affects aggregation and biofilm formation responses.
