lexA | Transcriptional repressor of SOS regulon; Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. Binds to the 16 bp palindromic sequence 5'-CTGTATATATATACAG-3'. In the presence of single- stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair. Implicated in hydroxy radical-mediated cell death induced by hydroxyurea treatment .The SOS response controls an apoptotic-like death (ALD) induced (in the absence [...] (202 aa) | ||||
htpX | Putative endopeptidase; Membrane-localized protease able to endoproteolytically degrade overproduced SecY but not YccA, another membrane protein. It seems to cleave SecY at specific cytoplasmic sites. Does not require ATP. Its natural substrate has not been identified. Probably plays a role in the quality control of integral membrane proteins. Belongs to the peptidase M48B family. (293 aa) | ||||
umuD | Translesion error-prone DNA polymerase V subunit; Involved in UV protection and mutation. Poorly processive, error-prone DNA polymerase involved in translesion repair. Essential for induced (or SOS) mutagenesis. Able to replicate DNA across DNA lesions (thymine photodimers and abasic sites, called translesion synthesis) in the presence of activated RecA; efficiency is maximal in the presence of the beta sliding-clamp and clamp-loading complex of DNA polymerase III plus single-stranded binding protein (SSB). RecA and to a lesser extent the beta clamp-complex may target Pol V to replicat [...] (139 aa) | ||||
iaaA | Isoaspartyl peptidase; Degrades proteins damaged by L-isoaspartyl residue formation (also known as beta-Asp residues). Degrades L-isoaspartyl-containing di- and maybe also tripeptides. Also has L-asparaginase activity, although this may not be its principal function. Belongs to the Ntn-hydrolase family. (321 aa) | ||||
panD | Aspartate 1-decarboxylase; Catalyzes the pyruvoyl-dependent decarboxylation of aspartate to produce beta-alanine; Belongs to the PanD family. (126 aa) | ||||
speD | S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase; Catalyzes the decarboxylation of S-adenosylmethionine to S- adenosylmethioninamine (dcAdoMet), the propylamine donor required for the synthesis of the polyamines spermine and spermidine from the diamine putrescine. (264 aa) |
