| Primary Identifier | IPR023838 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | T7SS_EsaA |
| description | Members of this family are associated with type VII secretion systems. EsaA from Staphylococcus aureus is encoded within a cluster comprised of eight predicted ORFs (esxA, esaA, essA, esaB, essB, essC, esxY, and esxB) []. Its function is unknown, though it is probably involved, with EsxA and EsxB, in the establishment of infection in the host. It is not necessary for the production and secretion of EsxA or EsxB []. Some members of this family, such as YueB from Bacillus subtilis, seem to act as membrane receptors for bacteriophage SPP1 [].In some proteins this entry represents the conserved N-terminal domain. |
