The N-terminal domain of 'bypass of forespore C' is composed of a four-stranded beta-sheet covered by an alpha-helix. The beta-sheet has a beta2-beta1-beta4-beta3 topology, where strands beta1 and beta2 and strands beta3 and beta4 are connected by beta-turns, whereas strands beta2 and beta3 are joined by an alpha-helix that runs across one face of the beta-sheet. This domain is similar to the third immunoglobulin G-binding domain of protein G from Streptococcus, the latter belonging to a large and diverse group of cell surface-associated proteins that bind to immunoglobulins. It has been hypothesised that this domain may be a mediator of protein-protein interactions involved in proteolytic events at the cell surface [1].
The C-terminal domain of the bacterial protein 'bypass of forespore C' contains a three-stranded beta-sheet and three alpha-helices. Its exact function is, as yet, unknown [1].
