Oxidative damage protective factor for iron-sulfur proteins; Could be a mediator in iron transactions between iron acquisition and iron-requiring processes, such as synthesis and/or repair of Fe-S clusters in biosynthetic enzymes. Necessary to maintain high levels of aconitase under oxidative stress.

GTP cyclohydrolase I; Protein involved in folic acid biosynthetic process; Belongs to the GTP cyclohydrolase I family.

Iron-sulfur cluster insertion protein; Probably involved in the insertion of Fe-S clusters into apoproteins in vivo including IspG and/or IspH. Essential for growth under aerobic conditions and for anaerobic respiration but not for fermentation. In vitro it binds Fe-S clusters and transfers them to apo-IspG, which is involved in quinone biosynthesis among many other cell components. Experiments indicate that it is probably also involved in the insertion of other Fe-S clusters than IspG/IspH; Belongs to the HesB/IscA family.

Fe/S biogenesis protein, putative scaffold/chaperone protein; Involved in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis under severe conditions such as iron starvation or oxidative stress. Binds a 4Fe-4S cluster, can transfer this cluster to apoproteins, and thereby intervenes in the maturation of Fe/S proteins. Could also act as a scaffold/chaperone for damaged Fe/S proteins. Required for E.coli to sustain oxidative stress and iron starvation. Also necessary for the use of extracellular DNA as the sole source of carbon and energy. Belongs to the NfuA family.

Flavinator of succinate dehydrogenase; An FAD assembly protein, which accelerates covalent attachment of the cofactor into other proteins. Plays an essential role in the assembly of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, respiratory complex II), an enzyme complex that is a component of both the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain, and which couples the oxidation of succinate to fumarate with the reduction of ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) to ubiquinol. Required for flavinylation (covalent attachment of FAD) of the flavoprotein subunit SdhA of SDH. Required for flavinylation of th [...]

Preprotein translocase membrane subunit; Essential subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG. Clamps together the 2 halves of SecY. May contact the channel plug during translocation. Overexpression of some hybrid proteins has been thought to jam the protein secretion apparatus resulting in cell death; while this may be true it also results in FtsH-mediated degradation of SecY; Belongs to the SecE/SEC61-gamma family.

Divisome assembly protein, membrane anchored protein involved in growth of wall at septum; Essential cell division protein. May link together the upstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly cytoplasmic, with the downstream cell division proteins, which are predominantly periplasmic. May control correct divisome assembly. Belongs to the FtsQ/DivIB family. FtsQ subfamily.

Iron-dependent inhibitor of iron-sulfur cluster formation; Involved in iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly. May act as a regulator of Fe-S biogenesis. Can bind both Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) ions. In vivo, has a positive effect on Fe-S cluster biogenesis under iron- rich growth conditions. In vitro, can inhibit IscS cysteine desulfurase activity and the formation of Fe-S clusters on IscU. In vitro, in the presence of IscS and cysteine, Fe(3+)-CyaY can be used as an iron donor during Fe-S cluster assembly on the scaffold protein IscU.

Colicin V production protein; Required for colicin V production from plasmid IncFI ColV3- K30.
