Tol-Pal system protein TolA

UniProtKB accession:  P19934

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the Tol-Pal system, which plays a role in outer membrane invagination during cell division and is important for maintaining outer membrane integrity (PubMed:1683466, PubMed:8416897, PubMed:11115123, PubMed:11994151, PubMed:17233825). The Tol-Pal system is also required for polar localization of chemoreceptors clusters (PubMed:24720726). The system also appears to be required for the activity of several outer membrane-localized enzymes with cell wall remodeling activity (PubMed:32152098). Is involved in the uptake of group A colicins (colicins A, E1, E2, E3, and K) and in the uptake of filamentous phage DNA (PubMed:1683466).
