Comment | This predicted Rossman fold-containing protein is the A subunit of dipicolinic acid synthetase as found in most, though not all, endospore-forming low-GC Gram-positive bacteria; it is absent in Clostridium. The B subunit is represented by TIGR02852. This protein is also known as SpoVFA. |
