Coordinates
2,640,513 2,641,130
Phenotypes of a mutant
strongly reduced transformation rate [Pubmed|22398145]
The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
stabilizes the attachment of transforming DNA at localized regions in the periplasm and then mediates uptake, probably by a Brownian ratchet mechanism [pubmed|34126763]
[wiki|Domains]
TM domain: aa 10 - 30 [pubmed|36513643]
extracellular DNA-binding domain: 2 HhH domains (aa 142-171,aa 172-302) (according to UniProt)
Structure

[AF|P39694]
[wiki|Localization]
cell membrane (integral), no distinct position [Pubmed|34928178,24164455,21278288]
localizes along the long axis of competent cells [pubmed|37292776]
