Lea proteins are late embryonic proteins abundant in higher plant seed embryos. It may have a role in desiccation tolerance by acting as an osmoprotective protein or as a desiccation-damage repair protein.

>PF00477 LEA_5: Small hydrophilic plant seed protein; InterPro: IPR000389 This entry contains a number of bacterial proteins annotated as stress-induced and members of the plant LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins, which are small hydrophilic plant seed proteins that are structurally related
These proteins contains from 83 to 153 amino acid residues and may play a role [, ] in equipping the seed for survival, maintaining a minimal level of hydration in the dry organism and preventing the denaturation of cytoplasmic components. They may also play a role during imbibition by controlling water uptake.

>PF10685 KGG: Stress-induced bacterial acidophilic repeat motif; InterPro: IPR019626 This repeat contains a highly conserved, characteristic sequence motif, KGG, that is recognised by plants and lower eukaryotes
Further downstream from this motif is a Walker A, nucleotide binding motif. YciG is expressed as part of a three-gene operon, yciGFE and this operon is induced by stress and is regulated by RpoS, which controls the general stress-response in E coli. YciG was shown to be important for stationary-phase resistance to thermal stress and in particular to acid stress [].
