Partner ID 4411
Name DNA protection during starvation protein
Synonyms 6866
Gene name dps
General function Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function Protects DNA from oxidative damage by sequestering intracellular Fe(2+) ion and storing it in the form of Fe(3+) oxyhydroxide mineral, which can be released after reduction. It efficiently inhibits hydroxyl radical production by the Fenton reaction. Does not bind DNA
