Functional Families
Superfamily: Outer membrane usher protein
The usher protein is rather large (from 86 to 100kDa) and seems to be mainly composed of membrane-spanning beta-sheets, a structure reminiscent of porins. Although the degree of sequence similarity of these proteins is not very high, they share a number of characteristics. One of these is the presence of two pairs of cysteines, the first one located in the N-terminal part and the second at the C-terminal extremity that are probably involved in disulphide bonds. The best conserved region is located in the central part of these proteins PMID:19380723,PMID:18485872.
