Usage and Biology
Usage: The mamO was used to initiate the formation of magnetite by "nucleating" the crystal particles, allowing further development. It was used in combination with the proposed electron transport complex of mamO, P and X in vivo to form magnetite.
Biology: MamO is an integral membrane protein that with eight predicted transmembrane alpha helices. It has been described as a crystal nucleation protein, that may help initiate magnetite biomineralisation. Mutant studies show that M. gryphiswaldense cells with mutaions in the mamO gene are non-magnetitic. MamO is part of the magnetosome of the native species, Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense. Together with the additional mam genes, it promotes magnetite crystal maturation within the magnetosome.
