Phenotypes of a mutant
reduction of sporulation efficiency due to defects in spore coat and cortex assembly [Pubmed|22463703]
The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
anchors the basement layer of the spore coat to the surface of the developing spore [Pubmed|22463703]
preferentially binds to micron-scale convex membranes and marks the surface of the developing spore as the site for coat assembly [pubmed|31597735]
recruits [protein|A25C1530DA7BB007A288E525404E9F775E219FE8|spoIVA] to the spore coat [pubmed|31597735]
