The protein
[SW|Localization]
inner spore coat [Pubmed|19933362], assembles into the spore integument [Pubmed|19060142]localization depends on [protein|search|CotE] [Pubmed|22171814]Additional information
[protein|search|CotE], [protein|search|SafA], and [SW|SpoVID] are required for proper localization, clolocalizes with [protein|search|YabG] [Pubmed|19060142]Expression and Regulation
