Protein disulfide isomerase II; Acts as a disulfide isomerase, interacting with incorrectly folded proteins to correct non-native disulfide bonds. DsbG and DsbC are part of a periplasmic reducing system that controls the level of cysteine sulfenylation, and provides reducing equivalents to rescue oxidatively damaged secreted proteins. Acts by transferring its disulfide bond to other proteins and is reduced in the process. DsbC is reoxidized by DsbD.

Cpx stress response Thr/Ser protein kinase; A protein kinase that (auto)phosphorylates on Ser and Thr residues. Probably acts to suppress the effects of stress linked to accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Protects cells from stress by antagonizing the MazE-MazF TA module, probably indirectly as it has not been seen to phosphorylate MazE, MazF or MazG. Probably involved in the extracytoplasmic stress response.

Thiol:disulfide interchange protein and activator of DsbC; Required to facilitate the formation of correct disulfide bonds in some periplasmic proteins and for the assembly of the periplasmic c-type cytochromes. Acts by transferring electrons from cytoplasmic thioredoxin to the periplasm, thereby maintaining the active site of DsbC, DsbE and DsbG in a reduced state. This transfer involves a cascade of disulfide bond formation and reduction steps; Belongs to the thioredoxin family. DsbD subfamily.

Periplasmic thioredoxin of cytochrome c-type biogenesis; Involved in disulfide bond formation. Catalyzes a late, reductive step in the assembly of periplasmic c-type cytochromes, probably the reduction of disulfide bonds of the apocytochrome c to allow covalent linkage with the heme. Possible subunit of a heme lyase. DsbE is maintained in a reduced state by DsbD.

DUF1040 protein YihD; To H.influenzae HI_0845.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase); Chaperone involved in the correct folding and assembly of outer membrane proteins, such as OmpA, OmpF and LamB. Recognizes specific patterns of aromatic residues and the orientation of their side chains, which are found more frequently in integral outer membrane proteins. May act in both early periplasmic and late outer membrane- associated steps of protein maturation. Essential for the survival of E.coli in stationary phase. Required for pilus biogenesis.

Serine endoprotease (protease Do), membrane-associated; DegP acts as a chaperone at low temperatures but switches to a peptidase (heat shock protein) at higher temperatures. Degrades transiently denatured and unfolded or misfolded proteins which accumulate in the periplasm following heat shock or other stress conditions. DegP is efficient with Val-Xaa and Ile-Xaa peptide bonds, suggesting a preference for beta-branched side chain amino acids. Only unfolded proteins devoid of disulfide bonds appear capable of being cleaved, thereby preventing non-specific proteolysis of folded proteins. [...]

Thiol:disulfide interchange protein, periplasmic; Involved in disulfide bond formation. DsbG and DsbC are part of a periplasmic reducing system that controls the level of cysteine sulfenylation, and provides reducing equivalents to rescue oxidatively damaged secreted proteins such as ErfK, YbiS and YnhG. Probably also functions as a disulfide isomerase with a narrower substrate specificity than DsbC. DsbG is maintained in a reduced state by DsbD. Displays chaperone activity in both redox states in vitro. Belongs to the thioredoxin family. DsbC subfamily.

Alkaline phosphatase; start codon corrected; Protein involved in phosphorus metabolic process; Belongs to the alkaline phosphatase family.
