The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:
  • Protein family: anti-sigma-W factor family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Paralogous protein(s):

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains:
  • Modification:
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity: degraded by RasP and PrsW under conditions of alkali shock or in the presence of antimicrobial peptides, respectively. This results in the release of SigW
