Superfamily: Bypass-of-forespore C, C-terminal domain

Structural domains comprising this superfamily share the structure of the C-terminal domain of the 'bypass of forespore C' (BofC) protein, which acts negatively on inter-compartmental signalling of pro-sigma(K) processing in the sigma(K)-checkpoint of Bacillus subtilis. This is achieved through its interaction with SpoIV inhibiting autoproteolysis of the latter which leads to a delay in proteolytic cleavage of pro-sigma(K) PMID:10931291.

BofC is a monomer made up of two domains, an N-terminal and a C-terminal domain. The C-terminal domain displays a unique fold but its function remains unknown PMID:16049010.
