Detailed information of auxiliary protein

Auxiliary protein


ID   13 GenBank   YP_009182121
Name   TrwA_R388 experimental UniProt ID   Q04229
Length   121 a.a. PDB ID   _
Note   (1) The T4CP TrwB_R388 ATPase activity is stimulated by ssDNA, dsDNA and the C-terminal Region of auxiliary protein TrwA_R388 [PMID:17599913].
 (2) GTAGTG in oriT_R388 is the specific binding sequence of the auxiliary protein TrwA_R388 [PMID:15450172].
 (3) The auxiliary protein TrwA_R388 binds specifically to two regions (region A and region B) with different affinities: Region A (high affinity) : 71-108 bp and Region B (low affinity) : 125-165 bp [PMID:9236121].
 (4) The auxiliary protein TrwA_R388 perform two biochemical activities: binding to oriT resulted in transcriptional repression of the trwABC operon and enhanced the relaxation activity of relaxase TrwC_R388 in vitro [PMID:9236121].
