Protein Domain : IPR013355

Type:  Family Name:  Type IV pilus secretin PilQ
Description:  A number of proteins homologous to PilQ are involved in type IV pilus formation, competence for transformation, type III secretion, and type II secretion (also referred to as the main terminal branch of the general secretion pathway). Members of this family include PilQ itself, which is a component of the type IV pilus structure, from a number of species. In Haemophilus influenzae, the member of this family is associated with the uptake of exogenous DNA, rather than with formation of a type IV pilus - the surface structure required for this may be considered an unusual, incomplete type IV pilus structure. Short Name:  Pilus_4_PilQ
