| Description: | The GerMN domain is a region of approximately 100 residues that is found, duplicated, in the Bacillus GerM protein and is implicated in both sporulation and spore germination. The domain is found in a number of different bacterial species both alone and in association with other domains such as Amidase_3 PF01520 Gmad1 and Gmad2. It is predicted to have a novel alpha-beta fold. |

KEGG pathways involving proteins which contain this domain
This information is based on the mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentages are related to the number of proteins containing a Germane domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing Germane domains. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers below will not add to 100%.
