| Type: | Family | Name: | Protein TraM |
| Description: | Bacteria can regulate their gene expression in response to their population density in a process called quorum sensing []. In some Proteobacteria, quorum sensing can be regulated by the TraR transcription factor that activates genes controlling Ti plasmid replication and conjugal transfer []. TraM inhibits TraR activity through binding to TraR and forming a large, stable antiactivation TraM-TraR complex [, ]. TraM has been shown to form a homodimer in which the monomer primarily consists of two long coiled a -helices, and one of the helices from each monomer also bundles to form the dimeric interface []. This entry represents protein TraM from Proteobacteria. | Short Name: | TraM |
