Superfamily: Competence, DNA-entry nuclease inhibitor, ComJ

Competence refers to the ability of a cell to take up exogenous DNA from its environment, resulting in transformation. It is widespread among bacteria and an important mechanism for the horizontal transfer of genes. Structural domains comprising this superfamily share the structure of the DNA-entry nuclease inhibitor ComJ, which plays a role in the competence of cells to be transformed through inhibition of the activity of the DNA-entry nuclease PMID:8901420, PMID:2841296.
