Phosphatidylglycerol lysyltransferase involved in lysinylation of phospholipids; Catalyzes the transfer of a lysyl group from L-lysyl- tRNA(Lys) to membrane-bound phosphatidylglycerol (PG), which produces lysylphosphatidylglycerol (LPG), one of the components of the bacterial membrane with a positive net charge. LPG synthesis contributes to the resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) and likely protects B.subtilis against its own CAMPs and against those produced by competiting microorganisms (bacteriocins). In fact, the modification of anionic phosphatidylglycerol with po [...]

Cardiolipin synthetase; Catalyzes the reversible phosphatidyl group transfer from one phosphatidylglycerol molecule to another to form cardiolipin (CL) (diphosphatidylglycerol) and glycerol (By similarity). May have a role in the heat shock response since the level of the transcript of ywiE increases after a heat shock; Belongs to the phospholipase D family. Cardiolipin synthase subfamily.

CDP-diacylglycerol-glycerol-3-phosphate 3-phosphatidyltransferase; This protein catalyzes the committed step to the synthesis of the acidic phospholipids; Belongs to the CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase class-I family.

Putative glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase; Glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterase hydrolyzes deacylated phospholipids to sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) and the corresponding alcohols.

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

Phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase (CDP-diglyceride synthase); Evidence 2a: Function of homologous gene experimentally demonstrated in an other organism; enzyme.

Phosphatidylserine synthase; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type e: enzyme; Belongs to the CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase class-I family.

Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase; Catalyzes the formation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) from phosphatidylserine (PtdSer); Belongs to the phosphatidylserine decarboxylase family. PSD-B subfamily. Prokaryotic type I sub-subfamily.

Iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein; Its function is controversial. Has been generally assumed to be an iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein , but more recent evidence suggest it is a sulfurtransferase rather than a scaffold assembly protein. Has been shown to bind low levels of a labile, air- sensitive Fe-S cluster; this can be assembled under anaerobic conditions from FeCl(3) and Li(2)S. Has been shown to be able to transfer this Fe-S cluster to an acceptor protein. Stimulates the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS, for which it acts as a second substrate. Alkyl [...]
