pfam06750: A24_N_bact (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Bacterial Peptidase A24 N-terminal domain
This domain is found at the N-terminus of the pre-pilin peptidases (pfam01478). Members of this entry have been characterised as bifunctional, and this domain may contain the N-methylation activity (EC:2.1.1.-). It consists of an intracellular region between a pair of transmembrane. This region contains an invariant proline and four almost fully conserved cysteines which bind Zn, as described for PilD from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The cysteines have been shown to be essential to the overall function of the enzyme.
