Subunit A of DNA topoisomerase IV; Topoisomerase IV is essential for chromosome segregation. It relaxes supercoiled DNA. Performs the decatenation events required during the replication of a circular DNA molecule; Belongs to the type II topoisomerase GyrA/ParC subunit family. ParC type 2 subfamily.

Putative response regulator (CheY homolog); Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; putative regulator.

Endoribonuclease toxin; Toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Specific for 5'-UACAU-3' sequences, cleaving after the first U. Yields cleavage products with 3' phosphate and 5' hydroxyl groups. Cannot digest substrate with a UUdUACAUAA cleavage site. Overexpression is toxic for cell growth (shown in E.coli), probably by inhibiting protein synthesis through the cleavage of single-stranded RNA. The toxicity is reversed by the antitoxin EndoAI. Toxin activity cannot be inhibited by MazE from E.coli. The EndoA-EndoAI complex does not seem to bind its own promoter.

Cytochrome c-type biogenesis protein CcdA; Required for cytochrome c synthesis and stage V of sporulation. Might transfer reducing equivalents across the cytoplasmic membrane, promoting efficient disulfide bond isomerization of proteins localized on the outer surface of the membrane or in the spore coat.

DNA 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. Initially characterized for its ability to contact the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase III (Pol III), a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria; Pol III exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity. The beta chain is required for initiation o [...]

Multifunctional SOS repair factor; Multifunctional protein involved in homologous recombination, DNA repair and competence. Can catalyze the hydrolysis of (d)ATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA; prefers dATP at least in vitro, catalyzes the dATP-dependent uptake of single- stranded DNA by duplex DNA, and the dATP-dependent hybridization of homologous single-stranded DNAs (strand exchange). RecA-ATP cannot catalyze homologous DNA strand exchange; SsbA and DprA activate strand exchange by RecA-ATP. It interacts with LexA causing its activation and leading to its autocatalytic clea [...]

DNA topoisomerase I; Releases the supercoiling and torsional tension of DNA, which is introduced during the DNA replication and transcription, by transiently cleaving and rejoining one strand of the DNA duplex. Introduces a single-strand break via transesterification at a target site in duplex DNA. The scissile phosphodiester is attacked by the catalytic tyrosine of the enzyme, resulting in the formation of a DNA- (5'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate and the expulsion of a 3'-OH DNA strand. The free DNA strand then undergoes passage around the unbroken strand, thus removing DNA supe [...]

RNA polymerase (beta subunit); DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates.

DNA polymerase I; In addition to polymerase activity, this DNA polymerase exhibits 3'-5' and 5'-3' exonuclease activity.
