Contents
Categories containing this gene/protein
biofilm formation, membrane proteins
This gene is a member of the following regulons
AbrB regulon, EAR riboswitch, SinR regulon
The gene
Basic information
- Locus tag: BSU34265
Phenotypes of a mutant
- smooth colonies on MsGG medium, no biofilm formation PubMed
Database entries
- DBTBS entry: [1]
- SubtiList entry: [2]
Additional information
The gene was re-assembled due to sequencing error in original sequence (it encompasses the genes annotated as yvfA and yvfB in SubtiList) PubMed
The protein
Basic information/ Evolution
- Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:
- Protein family:
- Paralogous protein(s):
Extended information on the protein
- Kinetic information:
- Domains:
- Modification:
- Cofactor(s):
- Effectors of protein activity:
- Localization: cell membrane (according to Swiss-Prot)
Database entries
- Structure:
- UniProt: P71060
- KEGG entry: [3]
- E.C. number:
Additional information
Expression and regulation
- Additional information:
- induction by sequestration of SinR by SinI or SlrA PubMed
- the epsA-epsB-epsC-epsD-epsE-epsF-epsG-epsH-epsI-epsJ-epsK-epsL-epsM-epsN-epsO operon is not expressed in a ymdB mutant PubMed
- the amount of the mRNA is substantially decreased upon depletion of RNase Y (this is likely due to the increased stability of the sinR mRNA) PubMed
- the EAR riboswitch (eps-associated RNA switch) located between epsB and epsC mediates processive antitermination and allows expression of the long eps operon PubMed
Biological materials
- Mutant:
- Expression vector:
- lacZ fusion:
- GFP fusion:
- two-hybrid system:
- Antibody:
