UniProt functional annotation for P0A6F5

UniProt codes: P0A6F5, P06139.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Prevents misfolding and promotes the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions.
 
Function: Essential for the growth of the bacteria and the assembly of several bacteriophages. Also plays a role in coupling between replication of the F plasmid and cell division of the cell.
 
Subunit: Oligomer of 14 subunits composed of two stacked rings of 7 subunits. Complex can be destablized when Ala-2 and Glu-76 are mutated to match these residues in M.tuberculosis (PubMed:15327959). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15327959}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00600, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20094032, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22380631}. Note=Uniformly located in the cytoplasm (PubMed:20094032). Exclusively localized in foci, usually near 1 cell pole in mid-to-late exponential phase (PubMed:22380631); polar localization depends on the minCDE operon. Foci form near midcell (Probable). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20094032, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22380631, ECO:0000305}.
Ptm: Phosphorylated reversibly during heat shock. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1349729}.
Miscellaneous: This protein shows ATPase activity.
Similarity: Belongs to the chaperonin (HSP60) family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00600}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAA23934.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
