| Type: | Family | Name: | Competence-induced protein CinA |
| Description: | Competence is the ability of a cell to take up exogenous DNA from its environment, resulting in transformation. It is widespread among bacteria and is probably an important mechanism for the horizontal transfer of genes. DNA usually becomes available by the death and lysis of other cells. Competent bacteria use components of extracellular filaments called type 4 pili to create pores in their membranes and pull DNA through the pores into the cytoplasm. This process, including the development of competence and the expression of the uptake machinery, is regulated in response to cell-cell signalling and/or nutritional conditions [].CinA is the first gene in the competence-inducible (cin) operon, and is thought to be specifically required at some stage in the process of transformation []. This family consists of putative competence-damaged proteins from the cin operon. | Short Name: | Competence-induced_CinA |
