Comments [?]

case not <OC:Actinomycetota> and not <OC:Aquificae> and not <OC:Chlamydiota>

Function	A probable RNA chaperone. Forms a complex with KhpB which binds to cellular RNA and controls its expression. Plays a role in peptidoglycan (PG) homeostasis and cell length regulation.
Subunit	Forms a complex with KhpB.

else

Function

A probable RNA-binding protein.

end case

Subcellular location	Cytoplasm.
Similarity	Belongs to the KhpA RNA-binding protein family.
