General description: Proteins from ECF111 are homologous to original ECF111 (only ECF111s1 and ECF111s2, 15.25% of the total). ECF111 is rich in proteins from underrepresented organisms since it is present in Cyanobacteria (68.75%) (ECF111s1, ECF111s2 and ECF111s4), Thermotogae (14.06%) (ECF111s3), Proteobacteria (10.94%) (ECF111s5), Acidobacteria (4.69%) (ECF111s6) and Fibrobacteres (1.56%) (ECF111s8).
Special features: Proteins from ECF111 might be regulated by a putative AS factor encoded in position +1 with one TM helix (64.91%). Position +2 contains an LTXXQ motif in ECF111s2 and heavy-metal resistance proteins in other subgroups. LTXXQ motif appears in periplasmic proteins that participate in response to stress, and it is also present in ECF03 (Danese & Silhavy, 1998).
Genomic context conservation: The conservation of the genetic context does not go beyond these proteins.
Promoter motif conservation: Predicted target promoter motifs are conserved and contain TTGAACCT in -35 and GTCTAAA in -10, indicating a possible autoregulatory role of ECFs from ECF111.
Summary: AS factors located in +1 might regulate members of ECF111. It is likely that ECF111 is involved in cell envelope stress and/or heavy-metal resistance since the protein in position +1 is typically a heavy-metal resistance protein, and the AS factors contain one transmembrane helix.
