Figure 2 shows that "over-expression of MMP-26...decreased the expression of inflammatory genes, while its down-regulation exhibited an opposite effect," indicating a "novel anti-inflammatory role for MMP-26."

As shown in figure 3C, fimbriae are either malformed or not formed at all in cells with ybjN expression, whereas wild type cells produced substantial fimbriae.

Figure 2 shows over-expression of ybjN leads to growth inhibition

Figure 6 shows YbjN is a negative regulator of biofilm formation.

Figure 4C over-expression of ybjN negatively regulates flagellar gene expression.

Figure 5 shows negatively regulates colanic acid biosynthesis.

Figure 4C shows over-expression of ybjN negatively regulates flagellar gene expression.

Figure 4B shows YbjN suppresses bacterial motility.

Figure 3A shows that "cells devoid of DR1245 protein showed an important growth defect... The generation time of the Δdr1245 mutant... was approximately three fold that of the wild type strain." This indicates that DR1245 is necessary for cell growth.
