| ORF ID | TF01843 (frame 1) |
Gene ID | RT0034 |
| Position and sequences | 47136...47423(95 aa) |
Gene Name/synonym |
virB3
- |
| Organism | Rickettsia typhi wilmington |
Cluster |
35 genes |
| Product | Type IV secretion system protein VirB3 homolog |
| 1stcategory | P-T4SS |
2ndcategory | VirB3/TrbD Family |
| 3rdcategory | Probable effector translocator |
| Function | The virB3 gene is highly conserved at the nucleotide and amino acid level across Rickettsia, suggesting an essential function for this poorly characterized protein. |
| Miscellaneus | The virB3 gene encodes a small protein (~95 aa) with a predicted signal peptide and a hydrophobic N-terminal region. Despite the Rickettsiales vir homolog (rvh) P-T4SS's being one of the features most conserved across Rickettsiales genomes, the function of the rvh P-T4SS is poorly characterized.
