Description | Proteins in this Gram-positive bacteria family consist of an N-terminal signal peptide, a central region of unknown function, and a Cys-rich C-terminal region. In both the overall architecture and the apparent weak homology of the C-terminal region itself, these proteins resemble archaeal proteins such as the halocin C8 precursor. In that precursor, the C-terminal region is a bacteriocin but the N-terminal region functions as the immunity protein. The related family of halocin C8-like bacteriocins and their bacterial homologues can be found in the halocin C8-like bacteriocin domain entry ( ). | Name | Putative immunity protein/bacteriocin |
Short Name | Gpos_C8-like | Type | Family |
