Blast Summary:PSI-Blast Search This sequence was previously published in GenBANK as gi16753178.
Several weakish matches in gapped BLAST to mreD proteins: residues 10-168 are 32% similar to the predicted mreD protein in S.pneumoniae (gi15902021). Residues 1-167 are 32% similar to this protein in Lactococcus (gi15674212).
SMu0017 has no significant similarity (BLAST p-value < 1e-3) to Streptococcus agalactiae

ProDom Summary:Protein Domain Search Residues 1-164 are 28% similar to a (PROTEOME MRED COMPLETE SHAPE) protein domain (PD098799 which is seen in Q9CDJ0_LACLA.
Paralogs:Local Blast Search No significant paralogous sequences. Residues 13-159 are 28% similar to residues 334-476 of SMu0568, a predicted competance protein (E = 6e-04).
SMu0017 is paralogously related (blast p-value < 1e-3) to SMu0568.
Pfam Summary:Pfam Search Residues 2 to 166 (E-value = 9.7e-06) place SMu0017 in the MreD family which is described as rod shape-determining protein MreD (PF04093)
