Type 4 apparatus protein DotY

UniProtKB accession:  Q5ZYR7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the Dot/Icm type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which is used to inject bacterial effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells (PubMed:32513920). Part of a subcomplex which recruits effector proteins and delivers them to the core transmembrane subcomplex (PubMed:32513920). DotY and DotZ play a role in effector translocation, but are not essential and do not influence the stability of the subcomplex main components (PubMed:34816517). The DotY/DotZ main function is to optimize secretion by modulating the delivery trajectory of the IcmSW module and the localization of the machinery to the poles (PubMed:34816517).
