8.A.21.2.5
Modulator of FtsH protease, HflK, of 266 aas and 1 strong N-terminal TMS as well as as many as 3 or 4 additional less hydrophobic peaks that could be TMSs. It shows strong similarity to recognized stomatin proteins and  may function with an uncharacterized protein of 231 aas and 6 TMSs in a 2 + 2 + 2 TMS arrangement encoded by the gene adjacent to the hflK gene. This latter uncharacterized protein exhibits weak similarity to the second half of the NfeD protease (TC# 8.A.21.2.1). The protease domain of NfeD is in the first half.
