Carbon storage regulator; A key translational regulator that binds mRNA to regulate translation initiation and/or mRNA stability. Mediates global changes in gene expression, shifting from rapid growth to stress survival by linking envelope stress, the stringent response and the catabolite repression systems. Usually binds in the 5'-UTR; binding at or near the Shine-Dalgarno sequence prevents ribosome-binding, repressing translation, binding elsewhere in the 5'-UTR can activate translation and/or stabilize the mRNA. Its function is antagonized by small RNA(s).

Polynucleotide phosphorylase/polyadenylase; Involved in mRNA degradation. Catalyzes the phosphorolysis of single-stranded polyribonucleotides processively in the 3'- to 5'- direction.

Hypothetical protein; YchH; transcription activated by CRP (cyclic AMP receptor protein), a global transcription factor involved in regulation of metabolism in enteric bacteria; ychH presents a class II promoter to bind CRP; unknown function; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Ribonuclease E; Endoribonuclease that plays a central role in RNA processing and decay. Required for the maturation of 5S and 16S rRNAs and the majority of tRNAs. Also involved in the degradation of most mRNAs. Belongs to the RNase E/G family. RNase E subfamily.

Amino acid dehydrogenase; Oxidative deamination of D-amino acids.

AMP-dependent synthetase; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Long-chain fatty acid--CoA ligase; Activates fatty acids by binding to coenzyme A; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Universal stress protein F; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Clp protease ClpS; Involved in the modulation of the specificity of the ClpAP- mediated ATP-dependent protein degradation; Belongs to the ClpS family.
