Protein Domain : Domain of unknown function DUF1542 IPR011439

Type	Domain
Description	This domain is found in several cell surface proteins, such as extracellular matrix-binding protein ebh [ ]. Some members are involved in antibiotic resistance (e.g. and ) [ ] and/or cellular adhesion (e.g. ) [ ]. In some proteins it is repeated more than fifteen times, being the most repeated domain in streptococci []. This is a predominantly α-helical domain that form a long, thin, fibre-like structure and it has been proposed to function as a stalk that helps the adhesive non-repeat region (NRR) of proteins protrude beyond the cell surface [, ].
