dinQ membrane toxin DinQ [ Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 ]

Gene ID: 5061522, updated on 26-Mar-2025
Official Symbol
dinQ
Official Full Name
membrane toxin DinQ
Primary source
ECOCYC:G0-9981
Locus tag
b4613
Gene type
protein coding
RefSeq status
PROVISIONAL
Organism
Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 (strain: K-12, substrain: MG1655)
Lineage
Bacteria; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia
Also known as
ECK4422
Summary
Immunoblots of chromosomal SPA-tagged DinQ failed to show a band, indicating that if dinQ is translated, it is not translated under the conditions tested (Hemm, 2008). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG14431]. Expression of dinQ is DNA damage-inducible and appears to be regulated by LexA . [More information is available at EcoCyc: G0-9981].
