Type: | Domain | Name: | Glucan biosynthesis, periplasmic, MdoG C-terminal |
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 []. This entry represents the functional portion of the protein and excludes the N-terminal signal sequence. | Short Name: | Glucan_biosyn_MdoG_C |
