Protein Domain : Survival protein SurE IPR030048

Type	Family
Description	SurE is one of the several proteins that is expressed when bacterial cells are subjected to environmental stresses and in the stationary growth phase of bacteria [ , ]. In E. coli, surE is next to pcm, an L-isoaspartyl protein repair methyltransferase that is also required for stationary phase survival. It was originally predicted to be an acid phosphatase, however, subsequent work showed this is not the case []. SurE has been shown to possess phosphatase activity and appears to be specific to nucleoside monophosphates []. In E. coli, Thermotoga maritima, and Pyrobaculum aerophilum SurE acts strictly on nucleoside 5'- and 3'-monophosphates.
Short Name	SurE
