| UniProt functional annotation for Q9X1B4 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9X1B4. |
| Organism: | Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099 / NBRC 100826 / MSB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermotoga. | |
| Function: | Redox regulated molecular chaperone. Protects both thermally unfolding and oxidatively damaged proteins from irreversible aggregation. Plays an important role in the bacterial defense system toward oxidative stress. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00117}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00117}. | |
| Ptm: | Under oxidizing conditions two disulfide bonds are formed involving the reactive cysteines. Under reducing conditions zinc is bound to the reactive cysteines and the protein is inactive. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00117}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the HSP33 family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00117}. | |
