| Short Name | SurE |
| 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. |
