Type: | Family | Name: | DEAD/DEAH-box helicase, putative, actinobacteria |
Description: | A conserved gene neighbourhood widely spread in the Actinobacteria contains this uncharacterised DEAH-box family helicase. The operons are similar to operons encoding type II secretion and pilus formation proteins. The context suggests that this helicase may play a role in conjugal transfer of DNA. | Short Name: | Helicase_put_actinobac |
