Description: | Osmotically inducible protein C (OsmC) is a stress-induced protein found in Escherichia coli. The transcription of the osmC gene of E. coli is regulated as a function of the phase of growth and is induced during the late exponential phase when the growth rate slows before entry into stationary phase. The transcription is initiated by two overlapping promoters, osmCp1 and osmCp2 [].This entry represents proteins belongs to the OsmC/Ohr family and is restricted to Firmicutes. Proteins in this family include YmaD from Bacillus subtilis. | Short Name: | OsmC-like_firmicutes |
