UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P0AC53 (P0AC53)
Gene Name:
zwf
Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function: Catalyzes the oxidation of glucose 6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconolactone Probable source of extracellular death factor (EDF, sequence Asn-Asn-Trp-Asn-Asn, NNWNN) following processing and amidation. This pentapeptide stimulates cell death mediated by MazF (PubMed:17962566). Artificial peptides with altered sequence show that NNGNN, GNWNG and NWN no longer stimulate MazF's endoribonuclease activity; other peptides (NNGN, GNWMM, NNWNG, NNNWNNN) retain MazF-stimulating activity. NNWNN, NNGN, GNWMM and NNWNG prevent cognate antitoxin MazE from inhibiting MazF; although NNNWNNN stimulates MazF it does not do so in the presence of MazE. EDF also stimulates ChpB's endoribonuclease activity in vitro; in this case NWN partially stimulates ChpB, whereas NNGNN, GNWNN, NNWNG, GNWNG and NNNWNNN do not. Only the wild-type EDF peptide prevents cognate antitoxin ChpS from inhibiting ChpB (PubMed:21419338)
