The protein
Structure
[AF|O31422]
Modification
the mature SKF is cyclic 26-amino acid peptide that is posttranslationally modified with one disulfide and one cysteine thioether bridged to the alpha-position of a methionine [Pubmed|20805502], the thioether bond is generated by [protein|F981C605C652D1A4429579A5F24608CE7F570834|skfB] [Pubmed|23282011]
[wiki|Localization]

additional information
Northern blotting during during phosphate limitation showed an intense 0.25 kb '[protein|search|skfA]'-specific transcript, and a weaker 6.5 kb '[protein|search|skfA]-[protein|search|skfB]-[protein|search|skfC]-[protein|search|skfE]-[protein|search|skfF]-[protein|search|skfG]-[protein|search|skfH]' transcript.
additional information
the mRNA is very stable (> 15 min) [pubmed|12884008]
