Structural highlights
1dvo is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
FINO3_ECOLX One of the components on the FinOP fertility inhibition complex, which inhibits the expression of traJ gene, which in turn regulates the expression of some 20 transfer genes. The transfer genes are responsible for the process, called conjugal transfer, in which DNA is transmitted from one bacterial host to another. RNA-binding that interacts with the traJ mRNA and its antisense RNA, finP, stabilizing finP against endonucleolytic degradation and facilitating sense-antisense RNA recognition (By similarity).
