Abstract

This family of proteins includes the SdpI and YhfL proteins from Bacillus subtilis. The SdpI protein is a multipass integral membrane protein that protects toxin-producing cells from being killed. Killing is mediated by the exported toxic protein SdpC an extracellular protein that induces the synthesis of an immunity protein [ 1 ].
