hdeA/yhiB | BacMet ID: BAC0185Code for: Chaperone
Family: HdeA familySequence: FASTA
Cross-database IDs: Link
Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12)Location: Chromosome
Compound: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) [class: Acid]Description: Acid stress chaperone HdeA; Required for optimal acid stress protection. Exhibits a chaperone-like activity only at pH below 3 by suppressing non-specifically the aggregation of denaturated periplasmic proteins. Important for survival of enteric bacteria in the acidic environment of the host stomach. Also promotes the solubilization at neutral pH of proteins that had aggregated in their presence at acidic pHs. May cooperate with other periplasmic chaperones such as DegP and SurA
Length (amino acid): 110
