| Type: | Family | Name: | Exopolysaccharide biosynthesis operon, EpsL, proteobacteria |
| Description: | The epsL gene is described as a component of the methanolan exopolysaccharide biosynthesis operon in Methylobacillus sp. 12S[], although no other information regarding its possible function is suggested. Homologues of this gene are found in several other exopolysaccharide operons in a small number of species. These operons contain a subset of the methanolan operon genes by homology and synteny, including the epsH gene which is proposed to act as an "exosortase" directing proteins with a C-terminal tag (PEP-CTERM) to the exopolysaccharide layer. Each of the genomes in which these genes and epsL are found also encode genes with these C-terminal tags. | Short Name: | EpsL_proteobac |
