Sensory kinase in two-component regulatory system with CpxR; Senses misfolded proteins in bacterial envelope; similar to E. coli probable sensor protein (histidine protein kinase), acting on arcA (AAC76893.1); Blastp hit to AAC76893.1 (457 aa), 96% identity in aa 1 - 457.

Putative inner membrane protein; Similar to E. coli orf, hypothetical protein (AAC74916.1); Blastp hit to AAC74916.1 (219 aa), 86% identity in aa 1 - 217.

Periplasmic serine protease Do, heat shock protein; DegP acts as a chaperone at low temperatures but switches to a peptidase (heat shock protein) at higher temperatures. It degrades transiently denatured and unfolded proteins which accumulate in the periplasm following heat shock or other stress conditions. DegP is efficient with Val-Xaa and Ile-Xaa peptide bonds, suggesting a preference for beta-branched side chain amino acids. Only unfolded proteins devoid of disulfide bonds appear capable of being cleaved, thereby preventing non-specific proteolysis of folded proteins. Its proteolyt [...]

Sigma E (sigma 24) factor of RNA polymerase; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase (RNAP) to specific initiation sites and are then released. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma-E controls the envelope stress response, responding to periplasmic protein stress, increased levels of periplasmic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as well as acid stress, heat shock and oxidative stress; it controls protein processing in the extracytoplasmic compartment (By similarity).

Putative carboxyphosphonoenolpyruvate mutase; Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the 2-methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the thermodynamically favored C-C bond cleavage of (2R,3S)-2- methylisocitrate to yield pyruvate and succinate via an alpha-carboxy- carbanion intermediate. Belongs to the isocitrate lyase/PEP mutase superfamily. Methylisocitrate lyase family.

NhaB family of transport protein; Na(+)/H(+) antiporter that extrudes sodium in exchange for external protons; Belongs to the NhaB Na(+)/H(+) (TC 2.A.34) antiporter family.

RNase 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.

Host factor I for bacteriophage Q beta replication; RNA chaperone that binds small regulatory RNA (sRNAs) and mRNAs to facilitate mRNA translational regulation in response to envelope stress, environmental stress and changes in metabolite concentrations. Also binds with high specificity to tRNAs (By similarity). Plays a central regulatory role in the microbial response to space flight conditions. Is essential for virulence and is required for efficient invasion of non-phagocytic cells.

Copper homeostasis protein; Participates in the control of copper homeostasis.
