Protein Family Models

This domain family is found in bacteria, and is approximately 30 amino acids in length. There is a single completely conserved residue G that may be functionally important. The traW gene of the E. coli K-12 sex factor, F, encodes one of the numerous proteins required for conjugative transfer of this plasmid. [1]. 1355084.
