From: Reconstructing genome-wide regulatory network of E. coli using transcriptome data and predicted transcription factor activities

Gene

Gene function

efeU

Ferrous iron permease component of the EfeUOB ferrous iron transporter.

ybdB (entH)

Thioesterase that is involved in the biosynthesis of enterobactin.

bfd

Bacterioferritin-associated ferredoxin; predicted redox component complexing with Bfr in iron storage and mobility [2Fe-2S]

bfr

Iron storage protein.

efeB

Deferrrochelatase, periplasmic; inactive acid inducible low-pH ferrous ion transporter EfeUOB; periplasmic acid peroxidase; heme cofactor.

efeO

Inactive acid-inducible low-pH ferrous ion transporter EfeUOB; acid-inducible periplasmic protein.

ybaN

Inner membrane protein, DUF454 family, function unknown.

ydiE

Function unknown, hemin uptake protein HemP homolog

yncE

Secreted protein, possible role in iron acquisition.

yqjH

NADPH-dependent ferric reductase containing FAD, covalently bound to a cysteine sidechain.
