Protein Family Models

This family consists of several bacterial stage III sporulation protein AC (SpoIIIAC) and SpoIIIAD sequences. The exact function of this family is unknown. SpoIIIAD is the an uncharacterised protein which is part of the spoIIIA operon that acts at sporulation stage III as part of a cascade of events leading to endospore formation. The operon is regulated by sigmaG [1]. [1]. 8969508. Systematic sequencing of the 283 kb 210 degrees-232 degrees region of the Bacillus subtilis genome containing the skin element and many sporulation genes.

Members of this family are the uncharacterized protein SpoIIIAD, part of the spoIIIA operon that acts at sporulation stage III as part of a cascade of events leading to endospore formation. Note that the start sites of members of this family as annotated tend to be variable; quite a few members have apparent homologous protein-coding regions continuing upstream of the first available start codon. The length of the alignment and the scoring cutoff thresholds for the model have been set to try to detect all valid members of the family, even if annotation of the start site begins too far downstream.
