Chaperone SurA

UniProtKB accession:  P0ABZ6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Chaperone involved in the correct folding and assembly of outer membrane proteins, such as OmpA, OmpF and LamB (PubMed:8985185). Recognizes specific patterns of aromatic residues and the orientation of their side chains, which are found more frequently in integral outer membrane proteins (PubMed:8985185). May act in both early periplasmic and late outer membrane-associated steps of protein maturation (PubMed:2165476). Essential for the survival of E.coli in stationary phase. Required for pilus biogenesis (PubMed:16267292).
