| | rseA | Anti-sigma factor; An anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor sigma-E (RpoE). ECF sigma factors are held in an inactive form by an anti-sigma factor until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP).

| | alaS | alanyl-tRNA synthetase; Catalyzes the attachment of L-alanine to tRNA(Ala) in a two- step reaction: L-alanine is first activated by ATP to form Ala-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ala). AlaRS also incorrectly activates the sterically smaller amino acid glycine as well as the sterically larger amino acid L-serine; generates 2-fold more mischarged Gly than Ser.

Overexpression causes cleavage of a number of mRNAs in a translation-dependent fashion, suggesting this is an mRNA interferase. mRNA interferases play a role in bacterial persistence to antibiotics; overexpression of this protein induces p [...] (104 aa) |
| | exuR | Hexuronate regulon transcriptional repressor; Repressor for the exu regulon that encode genes involved in hexuronate utilization. It regulates the ExuT, UxaCA and UxuRAB operons. Binds D-tagaturonate and D-fructuronate as inducers. (258 aa) |
