The non-phosphorylated BglG dimer binds to RNA and allows readthrough of transcription. BglG has an N-terminal RNA-binding domain followed by two PTS-regulation and dimerization (PRD) domains, PRD1 and PRD2, which contain the phosphorylated sites. BglG is activated by phospho-HPr(PtsH)-mediated phosphorylation and is deactivated by BglF-mediated phosphorylation at a second site; the inducing beta-glucoside sugar causes BglF to dephosphylate BglG at the second site, leading to cytoplasmic localization of BglG, BglG dimerization, and activation of BglG-mediated antitermination of the bgl operon (Amster-Choder, 1992; Görke, 1999). BglG is homologus to LicT of B. subtilis.
