CC   -!- FUNCTION: Propilin is the precursor of the pilus subunit, pilin, that
CC       forms conjugative pili, the filamentous surface appendages required for
CC       cell-to-cell contact during the earlier stages of bacterial
CC       conjugation, and that retract after contact is established. Mature
CC       pilin is assembled with the help of TraQ and TraX (By similarity).
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer. Interacts with itself to form filaments; also
CC       interacts with TraQ (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
CC       Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Note=Propilin is directed to the inner
CC       membrane, where it is cleaved and acetylated. Mature pilin forms
CC       filaments that are secreted to form the conjugative pilus (By
CC       similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TraA family. {ECO:0000305}.
