Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily: TraM protein, DNA-binding

This superfamily makes up the entirely of TraM.

TraM is a DNA-binding protein, encoded by plasmid DNA. TraM forms active tetramers to bridge the origin of transfer of the plasmid (oriT) to a TraD pore (a coupling protein). As such, TraM is essential for conjugative transfer of DNA between bacteria.
