| Type: | Family | Name: | Conserved hypothetical protein CHP03815, CpaE-like |
| Description: | Members of this protein family belong to the MinD/ParA family of P-loop NTPases, and in particular show homology to the CpaE family of pilus assembly proteins []. Nearly all members are found, not only in a gene context consistent with pilus biogenesis or a pilus-like secretion apparatus, but also near a DEAD/DEAH-box helicase, suggesting an involvement in DNA transfer activity. The entry describes a clade restricted to the Actinobacteria. | Short Name: | CHP03815_CpaE-like |
