Diadenylate cyclase; Participates in a DNA-damage check-point that is active prior to asymmetric division when DNA is damaged. Forms globular foci that rapidly scan along the chromosomes during sporulation, searching for lesions. Its ability to scan through the chromosome rapidly is due to its non-specific DNA- binding. When a lesion is present, DisA pauses at the lesion site. This triggers a cellular response that culminates in a temporary block in sporulation initiation. It is required, at least partially, to inhibit the activity of the transcription factor spo0A, which controls, amo [...]

General stress protein; Functions in the protection against aldehyde-stress, possibly by degrading damaged proteins.

Exported glycerol phosphate lipoteichoic acid synthetase and anion-binding protein; Catalyzes the polymerization of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) polyglycerol phosphate, a reaction that presumably uses phosphatidylglycerol (PG) as substrate.

Putative integral inner membrane protein; Involved in peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Transports lipid- linked peptidoglycan precursors from the inner to the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane. May serve as a defense mechanism against naturally occurring MurJ antagonists.

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

Putative DNA repair protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; Product type pf: putative factor.

Redox-sensitive regulator enzyme; Interferes with activator-stimulated transcription by interaction with the RNA polymerase alpha-CTD. May function to globally reduce transcription of genes involved in growth- and development- promoting processes and to increase transcription of genes involved in thiol homeostasis, during periods of extreme stress. Negatively affects competence and sporulation. Its degradation by the MecA/ClpXP complex is needed for competence development; Belongs to the ArsC family. Spx subfamily.

Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatase; Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of undecaprenyl diphosphate (UPP). Confers resistance to bacitracin; Belongs to the BcrC/YbjG family.
