Short Name | DcrB/EagT6 |
description | DcrB is a bacterial protein required for phages C1 and C6 adsorption [, ]. It may be involved in the opening or formation of diffusion channels in the outer membrane []. It plays a role in cell envelope biogenesis, maintenance of cell envelope integrity and membrane homeostasis [, ]. DcbrB is essential for lipoprotein maturation under conditions where membrane fluidity may be altered []. Structurally, it consist of an antiparallel beta sheet with some alpha helical regions. This entry also includes EagT6 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa which has some homology to DcrB []. EagT6 plays an essential role in toxin Tse6 delivery to target cells and specifically in the loading of Tse6 onto VgrG1a [, ]. |
