Fertility inhibition protein

UniProtKB accession:  P29367

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  One of the components on the FinOP fertility inhibition complex, which inhibits the expression of traJ gene, which in turn regulates the expression of some 20 transfer genes. The transfer genes are responsible for the process, called conjugal transfer, in which DNA is transmitted from one bacterial host to another. RNA-binding that interacts with the traJ mRNA and its antisense RNA, finP, stabilizing finP against endonucleolytic degradation and facilitating sense-antisense RNA recognition (By similarity).
