Protein Domain : Sporulation stage IV, protein A IPR014201

Type	Family
Description	This entry represents the stage IV sporulation protein A ( ), an ATPase that has a role at an early stage in the morphogenesis of the spore coat and is required for proper coat localisation to the forespore [ , , ]. A comparative genome analysis of all sequenced genomes of Firmicutes shows that the proteins are strictly conserved among the subset of endospore-forming species. This protein contains an ATPase domain at the N-terminal, a structural middle domain and a C-terminal domain that is key for targeting SpoIVA to the outer forespore membrane [].
Short Name	Spore_IV_A
