Type: | Family | Name: | Type-F conjugative transfer system pilin assembly thiol-disulphide isomerase TrbB |
Description: | This protein is part of a large group of proteins involved in conjugative transfer of plasmid DNA, specifically the F-type system. This protein has been predicted to contain a thioredoxin fold, contains a conserved pair of cysteines and has been shown to function as a thiol disulfide isomerase by complementation of an Ecoli DsbA defect []. The protein is believed to be involved in pilin assembly []. The protein is closely related to TraF () which is somewhat longer, lacks the cysteine motif and is apparently not functional as a disulfide bond isomerase. | Short Name: | Thiol-disulphide_isomerase_rbB |
