Flashcards: Bacterial proteins

In molecular biology, LcrV is a protein found in Yersinia pestis and several other bacterial species.

Repressor LexA or LexA is a transcriptional repressor (EC 3.4.21.88) that represses SOS response genes coding primarily for error-prone DNA polymerases, DNA repair enzymes and cell division inhibitors.

dnaE, the gene product of dnaE, is the catalytic α subunit of DNA polymerase III, acting as a DNA helicase.

DnaI is a protein that is part of the primosome involved in prokaryotic DNA replication.

The Actin assembly-inducing protein (ActA) is a protein encoded and used by Listeria monocytogenes to propel itself through a mammalian host cell.

In molecular biology, YadA is a protein domain which is short for Yersinia adhesin A.

Protein M is an immunoglobulin-binding protein found on the cell surface of the human pathogenic bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium.

Pilin refers to a class of fibrous proteins that are found in pilus structures in bacteria.

KcsA was the first potassium ion channel to be characterized using x-ray crystallography by Roderick MacKinnon and his colleagues in 1998.

Barstar is a small protein synthesized by the bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

DnaD is a 232 amino acid long protein that is part of the primosome involved in prokaryotic DNA replication.

cAMP receptor protein (CRP; also known as catabolite activator protein, CAP) is a regulatory protein in bacteria.

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are a group of proteins that are characterized by their affinity for and binding of penicillin.

RecA is a 38 kilodalton protein essential for the repair and maintenance of DNA.

CobB is a bacterial protein that belongs to the sirtuin family, a broadly conserved family of NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases.

In molecular biology, holA is a gene that encodes the δ (delta) subunit of DNA polymerase III in E.

In E. coli and other bacteria, holC is a gene that encodes the chi subunit of DNA polymerase III.

In E. coli and other bacteria, holE is a gene that encodes the theta subunit of DNA polymerase III.

Prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) is a functional analog of ubiquitin found in the prokaryote Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

DnaX is the gene that codes for the τ and γ subunits of the DNA clamp loader of prokaryotes.

A response regulator is a protein that mediates a cell's response to changes in its environment as part of a two-component regulatory system.

In molecular biology, the protein domain surE refers to survival protein E.

Methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (MCP) is a transmembrane sensor protein of bacteria.

In molecular biology, ZinT (formerly known as YodA) is a family of protein domains found in prokaryotes.

IsiA is a photosynthesis-related chlorophyll-containing protein found in cyanobacteria.
