RpoS antagonist; During the post-exponential growth phase transiently interferes with RpoS (sigma S) activity without affecting expression of RpoS itself. It is probably not an anti-sigma factor as its overexpression is detrimental in rapidly growing cells where there is almost no sigma S factor. There is a strong overlap between Crl- activated genes and FliZ-down-regulated genes. FliZ acts as a timing device for expression of the genes for the adhesive curli fimbriae by indirectly decreasing expression of the curli regulator CsgD.

Anti-repressor for YcgE, blue light-responsive; Binds to and releases the BluR repressor from its bound DNA target in a blue light-dependent (470 nm) fashion. A shift to low temperature also triggers a BluF-mediated relief of repression by BluR, suggesting BluF may serve as a thermometer. Blue light may act to increase the affinity of BluF for BluR, allowing it to be released from its operator. The protein has a reversible photocycle, and undergoes structural changes, probably in the EAL domain, in response to light.

Putative membrane-anchored cyclic-di-GMP phosphodiesterase; Phosphodiesterase (PDE) that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) to 5'-pGpG (By similarity). Overexpression reduces biofilm formation. Cyclic-di-GMP is a second messenger which controls cell surface-associated traits in bacteria.

Flagellar class II regulon transcriptional activator, with FlhD; Functions in complex with FlhD as a master transcriptional regulator that regulates transcription of several flagellar and non- flagellar operons by binding to their promoter region. Activates expression of class 2 flagellar genes, including fliA, which is a flagellum-specific sigma factor that turns on the class 3 genes. Also regulates genes whose products function in a variety of physiological pathways.

Transcriptional repressor of flagellar, motility and chemotaxis genes; Not known, does not seem to act on the proton translocating NADH dehydrogenase genes (nuoA-N) which are part of the lrhA operon.

cyclic-di-GMP phosphodiesterase, FlhDC-regulated; Involved in the control of the switch from cell motility to adhesion via regulation of cellular levels of cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP). Part of a signaling cascade that regulates curli biosynthesis. The cascade is composed of two c-di-GMP control modules, in which c-di-GMP controlled by the DgcE/PdeH pair (module I) regulates the activity of the DgcM/PdeR pair (module II), which in turn regulates activity of the transcription factor MlrA and expression of the master biofilm regulator csgD. Effect on flagella is controlled via the c-di-GMP-b [...]

cyclic-di-GMP phosphodiesterase, anaerobic; Phosphodiesterase (PDE) that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) to 5'-pGpG. Truncated proteins consisting of the GGDEF/EAL domains (residues 319-747) or of the EAL domain alone (481-747) have c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase activity. They do not have diguanylate cyclase activity. Cyclic-di-GMP is a second messenger which controls cell surface-associated traits in bacteria.

Putative diguanylate cyclase; Catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) via the condensation of 2 GTP molecules (By similarity). Involved in the control of the switch from cell motility to adhesion via regulation of cellular levels of c-di-GMP (Probable). Part of a signaling cascade that regulates curli biosynthesis. The cascade is composed of two c-di- GMP control modules, in which c-di-GMP controlled by the DgcE/PdeH pair (module I) regulates the activity of the DgcM/PdeR pair (module II), which in turn regulates activity of the transcription factor MlrA and expression of t [...]

UPF0061 family protein; Catalyzes the transfer of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) to Ser, Thr and Tyr residues of target proteins (AMPylation). Cannot use GTP, CTP or UTP as cosubstrate. AMPylates SucA at 'Thr-405' and GrxA on 'Tyr-13'. Regulates protein S-glutathionylation levels probably by AMPylation of deglutathionylation enzymes such as GrxA. Probably involved in redox homeostasis.
