Mg(2+) stimulon-PhoPQ regulon, EvgAS-PhoPQ cascade enhanced-expression subset. Salmonella mgtA is regulated by a Mg(2+)-responsive riboswitch; the 5' UTR secondary structure is conserved in E. coli, indicating E. coli mgtA should also have riboswitch regulation. HAD superfamily. MgtA contains a putative phosphatase HAD domain: residues 367-662.
