Disease relevance of yadB

Generation of a yadB disruption showed the gene to be dispensable for E. coli growth in rich and minimal media [1].
Genes homologous to yadB are present only in bacteria, mostly in Proteobacteria [2].

High impact information on yadB

The yadB gene is expressed in wild-type E. coli as an operon with the dksA gene, which encodes a protein involved in the general stress response by means of its action at the translational level [2].
