Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Neutralizes the toxic effect of cognate toxin HipA (PubMed:20616060).

Also neutralizes the toxic effect of non-cognate toxin YjjJ (PubMed:28430938).

Binds to operator sites with the consensus sequence 5-'TATCCN8GGATA-3' to repress the hipBA operon promoter (PubMed:8021189, PubMed:19150849); binding of HipB2 to DNA induces a 70 degree bend (PubMed:19150849).

This forces HipA dimerization, which blocks HipA's active site and thus its toxic action (PubMed:26222023).

May play a role in biofilm formation (PubMed:23329678).

Homodimer (PubMed:8021189). Binds operator DNA sites in the absence of HipA, inducing a 70 degree bend in consecutive operators and deforming DNA between the operators so that HipB dimers bind on opposite faces of the DNA (PubMed:26222023).

Forms a HipA2HipB2 heterotetramer which can interact with a single operator site on DNA, inducing a 70 degree bend (PubMed:19150849). When 2 operators are present each HipB dimer contacts 1 HipA molecule, which are brought together by the DNA bend and dimerize, blocking the HipA active site and inactivating its toxic activity (PubMed:26222023). HipA-HipB-induced bending also distorts the -35 and -10 boxes of the promoter and probably prevents sigma-factor binding, and additionally bound HipB and HipA block RNA polymerase access to the -35 box, thus repressing the operon (PubMed:26222023). This complex also blocks the toxic activity of HipA (PubMed:19150849). Mutations present in allele hipA7 (G22S and D291A) decrease the affinity of HipA for HipB (PubMed:20616060).

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1. The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard. </p> <p class="publication">Press W.H., Flannery B.P., Teukolsky S.A. and Vetterling W.T.<br /> <strong>Cyclic redundancy and other checksums</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.nrbook.com/b/bookcpdf.php">Numerical recipes in C 2nd ed., pp896-902, Cambridge University Press (1993)</a>)</p> Checksum:i63C0E13C1C06CBDA
