| Comment | Members of this protein family are found sparsely, mostly in members of the genus Burkholderia. Members often occur as tandem homologous genes, such as BMA_0021 and BMA_0022 in Burkholderia mallei ATCC 23344, or else have a duplication. The genes regularly are encoded near a cyclodehydrogenase/docking protein fusion protein of TOMM (thiazole/oxazole-modified microcins) biosynthetic clusters, suggesting a role in bacteriocin biosynthesis. The role of the putative natural product is unknown, but function as a two-chain bacteriocin is suggested. |
