Protein Domain : Motility protein FimV, N-terminal IPR020012

Type	Domain
Description	This region is found at, or about 200 amino acids from, the N terminus of FimV from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, TspA of Neisseria meningitidis, and related proteins [ ]. Disruption of FimV blocks twitching motility from type IV pili; which suggests a role for this family in peptidoglycan layer remodelling required by type IV fimbrial systems []. Most but not all members of this protein family have a C-terminal region recognised by . In between is a highly variable, often repeat-filled region rich in the negatively charged amino acids Asp and Glu.
