Isochorismatase; Involved in the biosynthesis of the siderophore enterobactin (enterochelin), which is a macrocyclic trimeric lactone of N-(2,3- dihydroxybenzoyl)-serine. The serine trilactone serves as a scaffolding for the three catechol functionalities that provide hexadentate coordination for the tightly ligated iron(2+) atoms. EntB is a bifunctional protein that serves as an isochorismate lyase and an aryl carrier protein (ArCP). Catalyzes the conversion of isochorismate to 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoate (2,3-diDHB), the precursor of 2,3- dihydroxybenzoate (DHB). In the enterob [...]

Glyoxylate-inducible transcriptional repressor of all and gcl operons; Negative regulator of allantoin and glyoxylate utilization operons. Binds to the gcl promoter and to the allS-allA intergenic region. Binding to DNA is abolished by glyoxylate.

FimA homolog, function unknown; Part of the sfmACDHF fimbrial operon. Could contribute to adhesion to various surfaces in specific environmental niches. Increases adhesion to eukaryotic T24 bladder epithelial cells in the absence of fim genes.

Minor component of type 1 fimbriae; Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Adhesin responsible for the binding to D-mannose. It is laterally positioned at intervals in the structure of the type 1 fimbriae. In order to integrate FimH in the fimbriae FimF and FimG are needed.

Tdc operon transcriptional activator; Transcriptional activator for the tdcABCDE operon. Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family.

Ureidoglycolate lyase, releasing urea; Catalyzes the catabolism of the allantoin degradation intermediate (S)-ureidoglycolate, generating urea and glyoxylate. Involved in the anaerobic utilization of allantoin as sole nitrogen source. Reinforces the induction of genes involved in the degradation of allantoin and glyoxylate by producing glyoxylate.

Allantoinase; Catalyzes the conversion of allantoin (5-ureidohydantoin) to allantoic acid by hydrolytic cleavage of the five-member hydantoin ring; Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily. Allantoinase family.

Ureidoglycolate dehydrogenase; AllD plays a pivotal role as a metabolic branch-point enzyme in nitrogen utilization via the assimilation of allantoin. It is able to utilize allantoin as a sole source of nitrogen under anaerobic conditions. Catalyzes the oxidation of ureidoglycolate to oxalurate.

OM lipoprotein stimulator of MrcB transpeptidase; Regulator of peptidoglycan synthesis that is essential for the function of penicillin-binding protein 1B (PBP1b). Stimulates transpeptidase and transglycosylase activities of PBP1b in vitro. May also contribute to outer membrane constriction during cell division, in complex with PBP1b.
