UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:undecaprenyl-P N-acetylglucosaminyl-1-P transferase; Catalyzes the formation of undecaprenyl-PP-N- acetylglucosamine. Involved in the synthesis of anionic cell-wall polymers as it mediates the initiation of the linkage unit formation that appears to be common to the two types of teichoic acids attached to the peptidoglycan of B.subtilis; may also be involved in teichuronic acid biosynthesis (Probable); Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 4 family.

Cell division machinery factor; Cell division protein that is part of the divisome complex and is recruited early to the Z-ring. Probably stimulates Z-ring formation, perhaps through the cross-linking of FtsZ protofilaments. Its function overlaps with FtsA; Belongs to the SepF family.

DNA repair and genetic recombination factor; The RecF protein is involved in DNA metabolism; it is required for DNA replication and normal SOS inducibility. RecF binds preferentially to single-stranded, linear DNA. It also seems to bind ATP. Is recruited to repair centers, foci that are the site of double- strand DNA break(s) after RecN and RecO; recruitment may depend on RecO.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Evidence 4: Homologs of previously reported genes of unknown function; PubMedId: 16014871, 17114254; Belongs to the asp23 family.

Gluconeogenesis morphogenetic factor; Required for morphogenesis under gluconeogenic growth conditions. Required, in gluconeogenic growth conditions, for the correct localization of PBP1 and hence for displaying a normal rod shape; Belongs to the gluconeogenesis factor family.

Two-component sensor histidine kinase; Member of the two-component regulatory system DegS/DegU, which plays an important role in the transition growth phase. Involved in the control of expression of different cellular functions, including production of degradative enzymes such as the neutral and alkaline proteases, flagellum formation and biofilm formation. Acts as both a protein kinase that undergoes autophosphorylation and subsequently transfers the phosphate to DegU, and a protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates phospho-DegU.

Two-component response regulator [YycF]; Member of the two-component regulatory system WalK/WalR involved in the regulation of the ftsAZ operon, the yocH, ykvT, cwlO, lytE, ydjM, yjeA, yoeB genes and the tagAB and tagDEF operons. Binds to the ftsAZ P1 promoter sequence in vitro. WalR has been shown to directly bind to the regulatory regions of yocH, ykvT, tagAB/tagDEF. Activates cwlO, lytE and ydjM and represses yoeB and yjeA.

Penicillin-binding protein 4; Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; Product type e: enzyme; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the transpeptidase family.

Cell-division ABC transporter; Part of the ABC transporter FtsEX involved in asymmetric cellular division facilitating the initiation of sporulation. May act as an importer, possibly at the top of a hierarchical cascade leading to the correct temporal initiation of sporulation. Acts upstream of the histidine kinases KinA, KinB and KinC, the RapA phosphatase and the Spo0A sporulation protein; Belongs to the ABC-4 integral membrane protein family. FtsX subfamily.
