Primary Identifier | IPR016368 | Type | Family |
Short Name | VapD |
description | This entry represents the virulence-associated protein, VapD type, found in bacteria. These proteins are defined by a conserved region found at the N terminus of the protein []. The crystal structure VapD from Helicobacter pylori, which showed endoribonuclease activity, was solved by X-ray chrystallography, showing a modified ferredoxin-like fold, very similar to that of the Cas2 family. It was also related to toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems, sltho it does not belong to them []. |
