Protein Domain : Spore coat assembly protein SafA IPR014248

Type	Domain
Description	This entry represents a subset of the LysM domain of about 40 residues long which is found in a variety of enzymes involved in bacterial cell wall degradation [ ], and which may have a general peptidoglycan binding function. Proteins containing this domain include SafA of Bacillus subtilis, which is a protein found at the interface of the spore cortex and spore coat, and which is dependent on SpoVID for its localization. This domain is generally found towards the N terminus of these proteins. The C-terminal region of these proteins are more variable and may contain blocks of 12-residue and 13-residue repeats, or an SCP-like domain ().
Short Name	Spore_coat_assembly_SafA
