Overview

Name   comGE   Type   Machinery gene
Locus tag   BSU_24690 Genome accession   NC_000964
Coordinates   2556921..2557268 (-) Length   115 a.a.
NCBI ID   NP_390349.1    Uniprot ID   P25957
Organism   Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168

DNA binding and uptake

Function

The comGE gene is a component of the transformation pseudopilus machinery. ComGE is essential for the assembly and function of the pseudopilus, which binds to extracellular DNA and retracts to pull the DNA into the periplasmic space.
