== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TRAP_STAA8 TRAP_STAA8] Signal transduction protein, which is a major regulator of staphylococcal pathogenesis. Phosphorylated TRAP leads to the activation of agr system and consequent RNAIII synthesis resulting in the expression of several virulence factors. Up-regulates the expression of most toxins and genes known to be necessary for biofilm formation.<ref>PMID:11160124</ref> <ref>PMID:16177293</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The crystal structure of the signal transduction protein TRAP is reported at 1.85 A resolution. The structure of TRAP consists of a central eight-stranded beta-barrel flanked asymmetrically by helices and is monomeric both in solution and in the crystal structure. A formate ion was found bound to TRAP identically in all four molecules in the asymmetric unit.
