| Type: | Family | Name: | Glucan biosynthesis, MdoD |
| Description: | Membrane-derived oligosaccharides (MDO) are members of a family of glucans found in the periplasmic space of Gram-negative bacteria. MdoG has been shown to be necessary for the synthesis of MDO [], but its exact function is not known yet. MdoD, an MdoG paralog, is a twin-arginine-dependent periplasmic protein that controls osmoregulated periplasmic glucan backbone structures []; see also [].This entry represents bacterial MdoD proteins []. They are thought to be involved in the control of the structural glucose backbone of osmoregulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs). | Short Name: | Glucan_biosyn_MdoD |
