Protein Family Models

This protein is predicted to span the membrane several times. It is only found in genomes of species that perform sporulation, such as Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium tetani, and other members of the Firmicutes (low-GC Gram-positive bacteria). Mutation of this sigmaE-dependent gene blocks development of the spore cortex. The length of the C-terminal region, which includes some hydrophobic regions, is variable. (from Pfam)

YabQ, a protein predicted to span the membrane several times, is found in exactly those genomes whose species perform sporulation in the style of Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium tetani, and others of the Firmicutes. Mutation of this sigma(E)-dependent gene blocks development of the spore cortex. The length of the C-terminal region, including some hydrophobic regions, is rather variable between members.
