UniProt functional annotation for B0B9A0

UniProt code: B0B9A0.

Organism: Chlamydia trachomatis serovar L2 (strain 434/Bu / ATCC VR-902B).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Chlamydiae; Chlamydiales; Chlamydiaceae; Chlamydia/Chlamydophila group; Chlamydia.
 
Function: Effector proteins function to alter host cell physiology and promote bacterial survival in host tissues. This protease possesses deubiquitinating and deneddylating activities (By similarity). Impairs ubiquitination and degradation of NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha (NFKBIA), thereby preventing NF-kappa-B activation. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18503636}.
 
Subunit: Binds to host NFKBIA.
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18503636}. Host cell {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18503636}. Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18503636}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18503636}. Note=Secreted, and delivered into the host cell. Located predominantly on the plasma membrane and to a lesser extent on intracellular membranes, especially the host cell nuclear envelope.
Induction: Expressed late in the infectious cycle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18503636}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase C48 family. {ECO:0000305}.
