| UniProt functional annotation for P26648 | |||
| UniProt code: P26648. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Cell division protein that is required for growth during stress conditions. May be involved in protecting or stabilizing the divisomal assembly under conditions of stress. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17766410}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Periplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10593889, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19135451}. Note=Localizes to the division septum. Localization requires FtsZ, FtsQ, FtsL and FtsN. | |
| Ptm: | Exported by the Tat system. The position of the signal peptide cleavage has been experimentally proven. Can also be exported by the Sec system. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Cells lacking this gene are sensitive to oxidative stress and DNA damage at high temperature. They also exhibit filamentation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17766410}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Is used as a model substrate in studies of the twin- arginine translocation (Tat) protein transport system. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the FtsP family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00915}. | |
