Protein Family Models

This entry represents the alpha-helical domain from the Type VI secretion protein IcmF [1]. This domain is also found in the TssM protein where it forms part of the tip complex [1]. [1]. 26200339.

This family represents a conserved region within several bacterial proteins that resemble IcmF, which has been proposed [1] to be involved in Vibrio cholerae cell surface reorganisation, resulting in increased adherence to epithelial cells and increased conjugation frequency. Note that many family members are hypothetical proteins. [1]. 12127983.

IcmF_C family represents a conserved region situated towards the C-terminal end of IcmF-like proteins. It was thought to be involved in Vibrio cholerae cell surface reorganisation that results in increased adherence to epithelial cells leading to an increased conjugation frequency [1]. IcmF as a whole interacts with DotU whereby these bind tightly and form the docking area of the T6SS within the inner membrane. The exact function of this domain is not clear [2]. [1]. 12127983.
