Names and origin

Protein names

Recommended name:
Competence regulatory protein ComQ

Gene names

Name:	comQ
Ordered Locus Names:	BSU31710

Organism

Bacillus subtilis

Taxonomic identifier

1423 [NCBI]

Taxonomic lineage

Bacteria › Firmicutes › Bacillales › Bacillaceae › Bacillus

Protein attributes

Sequence length	299 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
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. Ref.5
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein Potential.
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.
