This domain is found in a wide variety of extracellular bacterial proteins often in multiple tandem copies. (from Pfam)

This domain of about 100 residues was found originally in multiple (up to 35) copies in long proteins from several species of Vibrio, Colwellia, Bradyrhizobium, and Shewanella (hence the name VCBS) and in smaller copy numbers in proteins from several other bacteria. The large protein size and repeat copy numbers, species distribution, and suggested activities of several member proteins suggests a role for this domain in adhesion. This HMM for a repeated domain overlaps substantially (shifted by half its length) with newer Pfam model PF17803 (bacterial cadherin-like domain).

This repeat is found in proteins such as the biofilm-associated protein Bap of Acinetobacter baumannii (which can exceed 8000 amino acids in length), the calcium-stabilized ice-binding adhesin of the Antarctic bacterium Marinomonas primoryensis, and the giant calcium-binding adhesin SiiE of Salmonella enterica.
