| UniProt functional annotation for O32218 | |||
| UniProt code: O32218. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Required for the stabilization, possibly via formation of a disulfide bond, of the obligatory competence protein ComGC. May be required for the stability of secreted proteins with disulfide bonds. Not required for sporulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11744713}. | |
| Developmental stage: | A late competence gene, expression is enhanced in the presence of ComK. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Cells partially restore cytochrome c oxidase activity in a CcdA-deficient mutant, possibly because the bacteria can no longer oxidize the 2 heme-binding thiol groups in apocytochrome c. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11844773}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the thioredoxin family. DsbA subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
