Protein Domain : Pathogenicity island protein gp6 superfamily

Primary Identifier  IPR038540 Type  Homologous_superfamily
Short Name  SAPIS-gp6_sf
description  Gp6, a Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island 1 protein, is a mobile genetic element that carries genes for several superantigen toxins. It is a dimeric protein produced from the pathogenicity island with a helix-loop-helix motif similar to that of bacteriophage scaffolding proteins. It is thought to determine the size of the capsids of distribution of the SAPI1 genome as it acts as an internal scaffolding protein during capsid size determination [].
