Gas vesicle synthesis protein GvpL/GvpF
This family consists of several bacterial and archaeal gas vesicle synthesis protein (GvpL/GvpF) sequences. The exact function of this family is unknown. GvpL/GvpF qualify as possible candidates for nucleation proteins. Two hypothesized roles for these proteins are in initiation of gas vesicle synthesis and in determination of the curvature of the vesicle membrane.
