Coordinates on the chromosome (coding sequence)
4,211,510 -> 4,212,889
Phenotypes of a mutant
inactivation of ''[SW|thdF]'' reduces sporulation efficiency to 21.9% that of wild type cells; longer mother cells, some with aberrant septa and forespores [Pubmed|26735940]The protein

[protein|search|GidA]-[protein|search|ThdF] (suggested by interaction of ''E. coli'' counterparts [Pubmed|19801413] and by co-localization on the chromosome)Additional information
Information on the corresponding protein from ''E. coli'': [http://BioCyc.org/ECOLI/NEW-IMAGE?type=ENZYME&object=EG10997-MONOMER EcoCyc]MnmE required for wild-type 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine modification of tRNA, interacts with [protein|search|GidA]. MnmE also appears to play a role in oxidation of thiophene and furan compounds and regulates glutamate-dependent acid resistance.Expression and Regulation
