Protein Family Models

This entry is encoded within type III secretion operons. The protein has been characterised as a chaperone for the outer membrane pore component YscC. YscW is a lipoprotein which is itself localized to the outer membrane and, it is believed, facilitates the oligomerisation and localisation of YscC. (from Pfam)

Small domain family found in proteins of of unknown function. Some are secreted (e.g. Swiss:O25998) and implicated in motility in bacteria. Also occurs in Leishmania spp. as an essential gene. Over-expression in L.amazonensis increases virulence (Swiss:O43987; [1]). A pair of cysteine residues show correlated conservation, suggesting that they form a disulphide bond. [1]. 10403759.
