| PF18208 | Nicking enzyme C-terminal middle helical domain | domain |
This domain is found in nicking enzyme in S. aureus. NES initiates and terminates the transfer of plasmids that variously confer resistance to a range of drugs, including vancomycin and gentamicin. This domain is found in the C-terminal region of NES. The C-terminal region is required for conjugation and significantly impacts the catalytic activity of the N-terminal relaxase [1].
