Description | This entry represents the C-terminal β-sandwich domain of NigD. NigD is a protein found in the Nig operon that encodes a bacteriocin called nigrescin. It has been suggested that NigD may be the immunity protein for nigrescin (NigC) because it is directly located downstream and overlaps with the end of nigC. This is based on the fact that genes encoding immunity protein are usually located immediately downstream and co-transcribed with the bacteriocin gene [ ]. | Name | NigD-like, C-terminal domain superfamily |
