Chromosomal replication initiator protein DnaA, DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator; Plays a key role in the initiation and regulation of chromosomal replication. Binds in an ATP-dependent fashion to the origin of replication (oriC) to initiate formation of the DNA replication initiation complex exactly once per cell cycle. Binds the DnaA box (consensus sequence 5'-TTATC[CA]A[CA]A-3'); subsequent binding of DNA polymerase III subunits leads to replisome formation. The DnaA- ATP form converts to DnaA-ADP; once converted to ADP the protein cannot initiate replication, ensuring onl [...]

Negative modulator of initiation of replication; Negative regulator of replication initiation, which contributes to regulation of DNA replication and ensures that replication initiation occurs exactly once per chromosome per cell cycle. Binds to pairs of hemimethylated GATC sequences in the oriC region, thus preventing assembly of replication proteins and re- initiation at newly replicated origins. Repression is relieved when the region becomes fully methylated. Can also bind to hemimethylated GATC sequences outside of oriC region. Binds, with less affinity, to fully methylated GATC si [...]

Transcriptional activator of asnA; Activator of asnA transcription; autogenous regulator of its own transcription; and repressor of the expression of gidA at a post- transcriptional level.

Sulfite reductase, beta subunit, NAD(P)-binding, heme-binding; Component of the sulfite reductase complex that catalyzes the 6-electron reduction of sulfite to sulfide. This is one of several activities required for the biosynthesis of L-cysteine from sulfate. Belongs to the nitrite and sulfite reductase 4Fe-4S domain family.

Preprotein translocase membrane subunit; Subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG. Overexpression of some hybrid proteins has been thought to jam the protein secretion apparatus resulting in cell death; while this may be true it also results in FtsH-mediated degradation of SecY. Treatment with antibiotics that block translation elongation such as chloramphenicol also leads to degradation of SecY and SecE but not SecG.

16S rRNA m(7)G527 methyltransferase, SAM-dependent; Specifically methylates the N7 position of guanine in position 527 of 16S rRNA. Requires the intact 30S subunit for methylation; Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. RNA methyltransferase RsmG family.

Global DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator; Activates ribosomal RNA transcription, as well other genes. Plays a direct role in upstream activation of rRNA promoters. Binds to a recombinational enhancer sequence that is required to stimulate hin- mediated DNA inversion. Prevents initiation of DNA replication from oriC. Binds to hundreds of transcriptionally active and inactive AT- rich sites, approximately half its binding sites are in non-coding DNA, which only accounts for about 10% of the genome. Belongs to the transcriptional regulatory Fis family.

Isochorismatase; Involved in the biosynthesis of the siderophore enterobactin (enterochelin), which is a macrocyclic trimeric lactone of N-(2,3- dihydroxybenzoyl)-serine. The serine trilactone serves as a scaffolding for the three catechol functionalities that provide hexadentate coordination for the tightly ligated iron(2+) atoms. EntB is a bifunctional protein that serves as an isochorismate lyase and an aryl carrier protein (ArCP). Catalyzes the conversion of isochorismate to 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoate (2,3-diDHB), the precursor of 2,3- dihydroxybenzoate (DHB). In the enterob [...]

DNA biosynthesis protein; This protein is required for chromosomal replication. It forms, in concert with DnaB protein and other prepriming proteins DnaT, N, N', N'' a prepriming protein complex on the specific site of the template DNA recognized by protein N'.
