UniProt functional annotation for P0A6M2

UniProt code: P0A6M2.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Required for disulfide bond formation in some periplasmic proteins such as PhoA or OmpA. Acts by oxidizing the DsbA protein. PhoP-regulated transcription is redox-sensitive, being activated when the periplasm becomes more reducing (deletion of dsbA/dsbB, treatment with dithiothreitol). MgrB acts between DsbA/DsbB and PhoP/PhoQ in this pathway. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22267510, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7688471, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8430071}.
 
Subcellular location: Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7957076, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8430071}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7957076, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8430071}.
Disruption phenotype: Induction of the PhoP/PhoQ two-component regulatory system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22267510}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DsbB family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAA23711.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAA24220.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
