Flagella transport protein fliP family signatures


Description

In Escherichia coli and related proteins the fliP protein probably [1] plays a role in the transport of flagellar proteins. FliP is a protein of about 30 Kd which contains three or four transmembrane regions. Proteins evolutionary related to fliP have been found in a wide range of bacteria (mopC, hrcR, hrpW, spaP, yscR, etc.) and are involved in a variety of signal-peptide independent secretion systems.

We developed two signature patterns for this family of proteins. These patterns are located in the C-terminal part of these proteins and overlap with parts of the last two transmembrane regions.
