Your Input:
mutHMethyl-directed mismatch repair protein; Sequence-specific endonuclease that cleaves unmethylated GATC sequences. It is involved in DNA mismatch repair. (229 aa)
argPHTH-type transcriptional regulator ArgP; Controls the transcription of genes involved in arginine and lysine metabolism. Activates transcription of several genes, including argO, lysP, lysC, asd, dapB, dapD, lysA, gdhA and argK. Acts by binding directly to their promoter or control region. ArgP dimer by itself is able to bind the argO promoter-operator region to form a binary complex, but the formation of a ternary complex with RNA polymerase is greatly stimulated only in presence of a coeffector. Both arginine and lysine are coeffectors at the argO promoter, but only arginine is compe [...] (297 aa)
diaADnaA initiator-associating factor for replication initiation; Required for the timely initiation of chromosomal replication via direct interactions with the DnaA initiator protein. (196 aa)
fisGlobal 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. (98 aa)
rplB50S ribosomal subunit protein L2; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Located near the base of the L1 stalk, it is probably also mobile. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is highly controversial. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL2 family. (273 aa)
dnaNDNA polymerase III, beta subunit; Confers DNA tethering and processivity to DNA polymerases and other proteins. Acts as a clamp, forming a ring around DNA (a reaction catalyzed by the clamp-loading complex) which diffuses in an ATP- independent manner freely and bidirectionally along dsDNA. DNA bound in the ring is bent 22 degrees, in solution primed DNA is bound more tightly than dsDNA, suggesting the clamp binds both ss- and dsDNA. In a complex of DNA with this protein, alpha, epsilon and tau subunits however the DNA is only slightly bent. Coordinates protein traffic at the replicati [...] (366 aa)
dnaAChromosomal 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 [...] (467 aa)
trxAThioredoxin 1; Participates in various redox reactions through the reversible oxidation of its active center dithiol to a disulfide and catalyzes dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions. (109 aa)
holCDNA polymerase III, chi subunit; Part of the beta sliding clamp loading complex, which hydrolyzes ATP to load the beta clamp onto primed DNA to form the DNA replication pre-initiation complex. DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria. This DNA polymerase also exhibits 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. (147 aa)
mutLMethyl-directed mismatch repair protein; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is required for dam-dependent methyl-directed DNA mismatch repair. May act as a 'molecular matchmaker', a protein that promotes the formation of a stable complex between two or more DNA-binding proteins in an ATP-dependent manner without itself being part of the final effector complex. The ATPase activity of MutL is stimulated by DNA. (615 aa)
rdgCRecombination-associated protein RdgC; May be involved in recombination; Belongs to the RdgC family. (303 aa)
seqANegative 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 [...] (181 aa)
dpsFe-binding and storage protein; During stationary phase, binds the chromosome non- specifically, forming a highly ordered and stable dps-DNA co-crystal within which chromosomal DNA is condensed and protected from diverse damages. It protects DNA from oxidative damage by sequestering intracellular Fe(2+) ion and storing it in the form of Fe(3+) oxyhydroxide mineral, which can be released after reduction. One hydrogen peroxide oxidizes two Fe(2+) ions, which prevents hydroxyl radical production by the Fenton reaction. Dps also protects the cell from UV and gamma irradiation, iron and cop [...] (167 aa)
cspDInhibitor of DNA replication, cold shock protein homolog; Inhibits DNA replication at both initiation and elongation steps, most probably by binding to the opened, single-stranded regions at replication forks. Plays a regulatory role in chromosomal replication in nutrient-depleted cells. (74 aa)
rarARecombination intermediate processing DNA-dependent ATPase; DNA-dependent ATPase that plays important roles in cellular responses to stalled DNA replication processes. (447 aa)
uupReplication regulatory ABC-F family DNA-binding ATPase; Probably plays a role in ribosome assembly or function; overexpression suppresses cold-sensitive growth of a bipA deletion (Probable). May be involved in resolution of branched DNA intermediates that result from template switching in postreplication gaps. Binds DNA at Holliday junctions. May be involved in the correct segregation of nucleoids. Has ATPase activity, binds DNA non-sequence specifically; the presence of DNA does not change the ATPase activity. Mutations in this gene cause an increase in RecA-independent precise excis [...] (635 aa)
tusInhibitor of replication at Ter, DNA-binding protein; Trans-acting protein required for termination of DNA replication. Binds to DNA replication terminator sequences (terA to terF) to prevent the passage of replication forks. The termination efficiency will be affected by the affinity of this protein for the terminator sequence. (309 aa)
sbmCDNA gyrase inhibitor; Inhibits the supercoiling activity of DNA gyrase. Acts by inhibiting DNA gyrase at an early step, prior to (or at the step of) binding of DNA by the gyrase. It protects cells against toxins that target DNA gyrase, by inhibiting activity of these toxins and reducing the formation of lethal double-strand breaks in the cell. Protects cells against the natural plasmid-encoded toxins microcin B17 (MccB17) and CcdB, and synthetic quinolones. Can also protect cells against alkylating agents that act independently of DNA gyrase, suggesting a more general role in protectin [...] (157 aa)
gyrADNA gyrase (type II topoisomerase), subunit A; A type II topoisomerase that negatively supercoils closed circular double-stranded (ds) DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to maintain chromosomes in an underwound state. This makes better substrates for topoisomerase IV (ParC and ParE) which is the main enzyme that unlinks newly replicated chromosomes in E.coli. Gyrase catalyzes the interconversion of other topological isomers of dsDNA rings, including catenanes. Relaxes negatively supercoiled DNA in an ATP-independent manner. E.coli gyrase has higher supercoiling activity than many other bac [...] (875 aa)
hdaATPase regulatory factor involved in DnaA inactivation; Mediates the interactions of DNA replication initiator protein DnaA with DNA polymerase subunit beta sliding clamp (dnaN). Stimulates hydrolysis of ATP-DnaA to ADP-DnaA, rendering DnaA inactive for reinitiation, a process called regulatory inhibition of DnaA or RIDA. ADP-binding activates Hda to hydrolyze DnaA-ATP; Hda monomers bind to ADP with about 200-fold greater affinity than for ATP. RIDA function can be genetically separated from viability, suggesting this protein has another function as well. (233 aa)
recXRegulatory protein for RecA; Modulates RecA activity through direct physical interaction. Can inhibit both RecA recombinase and coprotease activities. May have a regulatory role during the SOS response. Inhibits DNA strand exchange in vitro; Belongs to the RecX family. (166 aa)
mutSMethyl-directed mismatch repair protein; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is possible that it carries out the mismatch recognition step. This protein has a weak ATPase activity. (853 aa)
