| Type | Domain |
| Description | This N-terminal domain of various bacterial protein families is crucial for the targetting of periplasmic or extracellular proteins to specific regions of the bacterial envelope. AMIN is derived from the N-terminal domain of AmiC, an N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase of Escherichia coli which localises to the septal ring during division and plays a key role in the separation of daughter cells. The AMIN domain is present in several protein families besides amidases suggesting that AMIN may represent a general targetting determinant involved in the localisation of periplasmic protein complexes []. |
