Putative divalent cation transport protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative transporter.

Putative persistent RNA/DNA binding protein; Part of the ribosome quality control system (RQC). Recruits Ala-charged tRNA and directs the elongation of stalled nascent chains on 50S ribosomal subunits, leading to non-templated C-terminal Ala extensions (Ala tail). The Ala tail promotes nascent chain degradation. Selectively binds tRNA(Ala)(UGC), which is presumably the sole source of tRNA(Ala) used for Ala tailing directed by this protein. May add between 1 and at least 8 Ala residues; detection of the Ala tail requires either deletion of clpP or its inhibition. Binds to 50S ribosomal [...]

Putative CorA-type Mg(2+) transporter; Mediates influx of magnesium ions. Alternates between open and closed states. Activated by low cytoplasmic Mg(2+) levels. Inactive when cytoplasmic Mg(2+) levels are high. May also mediate uptake of Co(2+).

Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; Belongs to the UPF0701 family.

Guanylate kinase; Essential for recycling GMP and indirectly, cGMP.

Omega subunit of RNA polymerase; Promotes RNA polymerase assembly. Latches the N- and C- terminal regions of the beta' subunit thereby facilitating its interaction with the beta and alpha subunits (By similarity).

Membrane component; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type ph: phenotype.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Regulates the biosynthesis of the extracellular matrix and the biofilm formation. Activates the transcription of the matrix biosynthesis operons eps and tapA-sipW- tasA. Also activates expression of the opuA operon, involved in osmoprotection. Acts by binding specifically to the promoter region of the target genes. Acts in parallel to the pathway that governs SinR derepression. Required for endosporulation.
