CommentMembers of this protein family include YfiO, a near-essential protein of the outer membrane, part of a complex involved in protein insertion into the bacterial outer membrane. Many proteins in this family are annotated as ComL, based on the involvement of this protein in natural transformation with exogenous DNA in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This protein family shows sequence similarity to, but is distinct from, the tol-pal system protein YbgF (TIGR02795).
