Lipoprotein chaperone; Participates in the translocation of lipoproteins from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Only forms a complex with a lipoprotein if the residue after the N-terminal Cys is not an aspartate (The Asp acts as a targeting signal to indicate that the lipoprotein should stay in the inner membrane); the inner membrane retention signal functions at the release step.

O-acetyl-ADP-ribose deacetylase; Deacetylates O-acetyl-ADP ribose to yield ADP-ribose and free acetate. Down-regulates ribonuclease 3 (RNase III) activity. Acts by interacting directly with the region of the ribonuclease that is required for dimerization/activation. Overexpression inhibits biofilm formation via an RNase III-independent pathway. This inhibition is RpoS-dependent. Overexpression also results in increased susceptibility to apramycin. Belongs to the YmdB family.

DNA translocase at septal ring sorting daughter chromsomes; Essential cell division protein that coordinates cell division and chromosome segregation. The N-terminus is involved in assembly of the cell-division machinery. The C-terminus functions as a DNA motor that moves dsDNA in an ATP-dependent manner towards the dif recombination site, which is located within the replication terminus region. Translocation stops specifically at Xer-dif sites, where FtsK interacts with the Xer recombinase, allowing activation of chromosome unlinking by recombination. FtsK orienting polar sequences (K [...]

30S ribosomal subunit protein S4; One of two assembly initiator proteins for the 30S subunit, it binds directly to 16S rRNA where it nucleates assembly of the body of the 30S subunit. Plays a role in mRNA unwinding by the ribosome, possibly by forming part of a processivity clamp. Also functions as a rho-dependent antiterminator of rRNA transcription, increasing the synthesis of rRNA under conditions of excess protein, allowing a more rapid return to homeostasis. Binds directly to RNA polymerase; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS4 family.

L-arabinose ABC transporter permease; Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for L- arabinose. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.

Leucine-responsive global transcriptional regulator; Mediates a global response to leucine. Exogenous leucine affects the expression of a number of different operons; lrp mediates this effect for at least some of these operons. For example it is regulator of the branched-chain amino acid transport genes.

DNA polymerase III/DNA elongation factor III, tau and gamma subunits; Part of the beta sliding clamp loading complex, which hydrolyzes ATP to load the beta clamp onto primed DNA to form the DNA replication pre-initiation complex. DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria. This DNA polymerase also exhibits 3'-5' exonuclease activity. The gamma complex (gamma(3),delta,delta') is thought to load beta dimers onto DNA by binding ATP which alters the complex's conformation so it can bind beta sliding clamp dimers and open [...]

Multiple antibiotic resistance transcriptional regulator; May be a transcriptional activator of genes involved in the multiple antibiotic resistance (Mar) phenotype. It can also activate genes such as sodA, zwf and micF.

DNA biosynthesis protein (primosomal protein I); This protein is required for primosome-dependent normal DNA replication; it is also involved in inducing stable DNA replication during SOS response. It forms, in concert with DnaB protein and other prepriming proteins DnaC, N, N', N'' a prepriming protein complex on the specific site of the template DNA recognized by protein N'; Belongs to the DnaT family.
