ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate which is present in every cell’s cytoplasm and nucleoplasm which is essential in all the physiological mechanisms. It is considered as the energy currency of life or the “molecular unit of currency”.  It stores the energy that we need every day to do our daily undertakings. The primary function of ATP is to transport chemical energy within the body cells for metabolism. It is said that 1 moleculte of ATP is composed of 3 phosphate groups.<span> </span>

In response to high amounts of phosphate transport into the cell: a. PhoR is phosphorylated by the phosphate transporter protein
storchak [24]

Answer:

e. PhoU keeps PhoR bound to the phosphate transporter protein Pst

Explanation:

PhoU is a membrane protein known to regulate the transport of phosphate (Pi) between cellular compartments. It has been discovered that mutations in this protein cause lethality because the cell becomes incapable of controlling the intracellular levels of  Pi, this being toxic for the cell. PhoR is a histidine kinase/phosphatase. When the Pi level is considered to be a limiting factor, PhoR autophosphorylates at a histidine residue and then donates its phosphoryl group to PhoB. On the other hand, when the Pi level is high, this protein removes the phosphoryl group from phospho-PhoB. Finally, the Pst is a signal transduction protein that acts as a transporter capable of switching its conformation during the transport of PI.
