Bunzi

Contributors: Aude Bernheim

Description

The Bunzi system is composed of 2 proteins: BnzB and, BnzA. Bunzi is a serpent water spirit and goddess of rain in the traditional Kongo religion. There was some homology noted with PFAMS Pfam08000, Pfam05099, Pfam07889 and a TerB domain (N/A) .

Molecular Mechanism

As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown.

Example of genomic structure

The Bunzi is composed of 2 proteins: BnzA and BnzB.

Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:
