Tol-Pal system protein TolQ

UniProtKB accession:  P0ABU9

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:17233825). Required, with TolR, for the proton motive force-dependent activation of TolA and for TolA-Pal interaction (PubMed:11722743). 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, PubMed:3294803).
