Probable membrane transporter protein MamO

UniProtKB accession:  Q2W8Q2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays 2 roles; promotes magnetite nucleation/formation and activates the MamE protease (Probable). Despite its near conservation of a protease-like sequence, this is probably not a protease (PubMed:26981620) (Probable). Required in conjunction with MamP for proteolysis of at least MamE, itself and MamP (PubMed:26981620). May transport a solute that controls MamE's protease activity. May place individual iron atoms into the magnetite lattice (Probable).
