:Under normal physiological conditions, unactivated PhoP occurs mainly as a monomer. At higher concentration unactivated PhoP has been shown to dimerize and act in a similar way to activated and dimerized PhoP. Many regulatory domains isolated from members of the OmpR/PhoB family and in their inactive form, crystalize in a form similar to their activated dimers. | :Under normal physiological conditions, unactivated PhoP occurs mainly as a monomer.
