Name:	comQ
Ordered Locus Names:	BSU31710

Organism

Bacillus subtilis [Complete proteome] [HAMAP]

Taxonomic identifier

1423 [NCBI]

Taxonomic lineage

Bacteria › Firmicutes › Bacillales › Bacillaceae › Bacillus

Protein attributes

Sequence length	299 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Predicted.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Involved in the maturation of comX, part of a major quorum-sensing system that regulates the development of genetic competence.
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane proteinPotential.
Miscellaneous	The DNA sequences encoding comQ, comX and the N-terminal two-thirds of comP show a striking polymorphism, which determines the specificity of the quorum-sensing system in the different pherotypes of Bacillus.
