DnaK-like molecular chaperone specific for IscU; Chaperone involved in the maturation of iron-sulfur cluster- containing proteins. Has a low intrinsic ATPase activity which is markedly stimulated by HscB.

Putative Molecular chaperone; Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative factor.

Preprotein translocase membrane subunit; The central subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG. Consists of two halves formed by TMs 1-5 and 6-10. These two domains form a lateral gate at the front which open onto the bilayer between TMs 2 and 7, and are clamped together by SecE at the back. The channel is closed by both a pore ring composed of hydrophobic SecY resides and a short helix (helix 2A) on the extracellular side of the membrane which forms a plug. The plug probably moves laterally to allow the channel to open. The ring and the pore may move independently.

Protein GrpE, Heat Shock Chaperone (HSP-70 cofactor); Participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic and heat shock by preventing the aggregation of stress-denatured proteins, in association with DnaK and GrpE. It is the nucleotide exchange factor for DnaK and may function as a thermosensor. Unfolded proteins bind initially to DnaJ; upon interaction with the DnaJ-bound protein, DnaK hydrolyzes its bound ATP, resulting in the formation of a stable complex. GrpE releases ADP from DnaK; ATP binding to DnaK triggers the release of the substrate protein, thus completing the reaction [...]

Molecular chaperone HSP90 family; Molecular chaperone. Has ATPase activity.

Heavy metal-dependent transcriptional regulator, MerR family; Function of strongly homologous gene; regulator.

Cpn60 chaperonin GroEL, large subunit of GroESL(Chaperonin Cpn60/TCP-1,23-525); Prevents misfolding and promotes the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions.

50S ribosomal subunit protein L16; Binds 23S rRNA and is also seen to make contacts with the A and possibly P site tRNAs; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL16 family.

DNA-binding ATP-dependent protease La; ATP-dependent serine protease that mediates the selective degradation of mutant and abnormal proteins as well as certain short- lived regulatory proteins. Required for cellular homeostasis and for survival from DNA damage and developmental changes induced by stress. Degrades polypeptides processively to yield small peptide fragments that are 5 to 10 amino acids long. Binds to DNA in a double-stranded, site-specific manner.
