DNA TOPOISOMERASE I (topA); 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 D [...]

DNA POLYMERASE III, BETA CHAIN (dnaN); 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 initiati [...]

ACYL CARRIER PROTEIN (acpP); Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis; Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family.

DNA REPAIR PROTEIN RECN (recN); May be involved in recombinational repair of damaged DNA.

DNA HELICASE II (uvrD); Has both ATPase and helicase activities. Unwinds DNA duplexes with 3' to 5' polarity with respect to the bound strand and initiates unwinding most effectively when a single-stranded region is present. Involved in the post-incision events of nucleotide excision repair and methyl-directed mismatch repair (By similarity); Belongs to the helicase family. UvrD subfamily.

DNA POLYMERASE III, DELTA SUBUNIT (holB); No ATG or GTG initiation codon found. ATA annotated as initiation codon.

DNA REPAIR PROTEIN RADA HOMOLOG (radA); DNA-dependent ATPase involved in processing of recombination intermediates, plays a role in repairing DNA breaks. Stimulates the branch migration of RecA-mediated strand transfer reactions, allowing the 3' invading strand to extend heteroduplex DNA faster. Binds ssDNA in the presence of ADP but not other nucleotides, has ATPase activity that is stimulated by ssDNA and various branched DNA structures, but inhibited by SSB. Does not have RecA's homology-searching function. Belongs to the RecA family. RadA subfamily.

LEUCYL-TRNA SYNTHETASE (leuS); Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.

EXCINUCLEASE ABC SUBUNIT B (uvrB); The UvrABC repair system catalyzes the recognition and processing of DNA lesions. A damage recognition complex composed of 2 UvrA and 2 UvrB subunits scans DNA for abnormalities. Upon binding of the UvrA(2)B(2) complex to a putative damaged site, the DNA wraps around one UvrB monomer. DNA wrap is dependent on ATP binding by UvrB and probably causes local melting of the DNA helix, facilitating insertion of UvrB beta-hairpin between the DNA strands. Then UvrB probes one DNA strand for the presence of a lesion. If a lesion is found the UvrA subunits diss [...]
