Type: | Domain | Name: | Membrane insertase YidC/Oxa1, C-terminal |
Description: | This entry represents the C-terminal domain of YidC/Oxa1 proteins from some species and full length protein from other species. This domain appears to be univeral among bacteria (although absent from Archaea). YidC is a bacterial membrane protein which is required for the insertion and assembly of inner membrane proteins [, ]. The well-characterised YidC protein from Escherichia coli and its close homologues contain a large N-terminal periplasmic domain (). | Short Name: | Membr_insert_YidC/Oxa1_C |
