Description
MamO is involved in crystal nucleation.
Biology:
MamO is a proposed cytochrome protein (reference) due to the presence of a heme binding motif within its sequence. It forms a complex with other Mam proteins on the membrane of the native species, Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense. Together they promote magnetite crystal maturation within an organelle called the magnetosome.
