DNA polymerase III (gamma and tau subunits); DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function.

Thymidylate kinase; Phosphorylation of dTMP to form dTDP in both de novo and salvage pathways of dTTP synthesis; Belongs to the thymidylate kinase family.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Essential for the phosphorelay during initiation of sporulation. May control the level of phosphorylated spo0A through spo0E activity during sporulation.

DNA polymerase III delta' subunit; DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria.

Molecular chaperone lipoprotein; Essential protein that plays a major role in protein secretion by helping the post-translocational extracellular folding of several secreted proteins. Has PPIase activity but it is not essential for its function in vivo; Belongs to the PrsA family.

Putative metal-binding hydrolase; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative enzyme.

Ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase I; Catalyzes the 2'-O-methylation of the ribose of cytidine 1402 (C1402) in 16S rRNA.

Inhibitor of the pro-sigma(K) processing machinery; Involved in the mediation of the intercompartmental coupling of pro-sigma K processing to events in the forespore. Inhibits SpoIVFB- processing activity until a signal has been received from the forespore. Could inhibit SpoIVFB metalloprotease activity by coordinating a zinc in the SpoIVFB active site, preventing access of a water molecule and the sequence of pro-sigma K, which are necessary for peptide bond hydrolysis to produce sigma-K.
