1.B.22.5.3
Bundle-forming pilus-B (BfpB) secretin (catalyzes export of pilins and EPEC proteins; uptake of vancomycin). (BfpB complex formation requires BfpG, 113 aas; gbBAA84839).  While the N-terminus is periplasmic, the C-terminus is extracelllular. BfpB may form a beta barrel with 16 transmembrane beta strands with a C-terminal segment passing through the center of each monomer (Lieberman et al. 2015).
