Protein Family Models

This domain is found in a bacterial family of spore coat proteins [1], as well as a family of secreted pili proteins involved in motility and biofilm formation ([2]). This family is distantly related to fimbrial proteins. [1]. 1904442. Protein U, a late-developmental spore coat protein of Myxococcus xanthus, is a secretory protein. Gollop R, Inouye M, Inouye S;.
