Protein
Replication termination protein
Organism
Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii (strain ATCC 23059 / NRRL B-14472 / W23)
Function
Plays a role in DNA replication and termination (fork arrest mechanism). Two dimers of rtp bind to the two inverted repeat regions (IRI and IRII) present in the termination site. The binding of each dimer is centered on an 8 bp direct repeat (By similarity).
