| Type: | Family | Name: | PEP-CTERM system TPR-repeat lipoprotein, putative |
| Description: | This protein family occurs in strictly within a subset of Gram-negative bacterial species with the proposed PEP-CTERM/exosortase system [], analogous to the LPXTG/sortase system common in Gram-positive bacteria. The proteins in this entry occur in a species if, and only if, a transmembrane histidine kinase () and a DNA-binding response regulator () also occur. The present of tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR) suggests they may be involved in protein-protein interaction, possibly for the regulation of PEP-CTERM protein expression, since many PEP-CTERM proteins in these genomes are preceded by a proposed DNA binding site for the response regulator. | Short Name: | PEP-CTERM_TPR_lipo |
