9.B.444.  The Uncharacterized YjeO/YgiZ (YjeO/YgiZ) Family 

These two proteins (YjeO and YgiZ) are members of the YjeO family as well as the DUF2645 family.  They are small (~ 100 - 110 aa) proteins with 3 TMSs in a 1 + 2 TMS arrangement. The ygiZ gene is induced upon exposure of E. coli to external Ca2+ (Zhu et al. 2022).
