DESCRIPTION

Also known as MAMA_MAGSA, mamA, mms24. Probably forms a large homooligomer on which other magnetosome subunits assemble (Probable). Required for formation of functional magnetosomes from pre-existing vesicles, it has a dynamic location in the cell (PubMed:15004275). Oligomerizes into high molecular weight complexes (at least 560 kDa) (PubMed:28955887, PubMed:20439702). Forms round, 20 nm diameter complexes with a central cavity (PubMed:21784982). Interacts with full-length Mms6 (PubMed:28955887). Probably binds MamC (By similarity).
