The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

• Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: binds ImmR and inhibits its activity, this results in induction of the genes for the transfer of the mobile genetic element ICEBs1 PubMed

• Protein family: RAP family (according to Swiss-Prot)

• Paralogous protein(s):
